I think we can learn too much about those we hold in high reguard. As a boy, I revered the writings of several gun writers but later in life learned from those who had known them they were: a) a faker, b) an egotistical pain in the ass with no reguard for anyone but himself and c) a thief. I can no longer enjoy the writings of any of them. I don't feel this knowledge of any of them enhanced my life in any way and wish I hadn't learned it. Revealing all the warts between someones toes isn't necessary to help us understand the artistry of their work.
Just my opinion and worth every cent it cost.
