I know I´m bad at english, but I´m focusing, as I tried to say earlier, in the historiographic (is there such word in English?) aspects. I trying to deconstruct (fancy word) his romantic aura of a typical scientist. I´m discussing the conveniency (or lack of) of classifying (I´m a classification maniac) him as a scientist. Just a chit-chat. An exercize. Nothing important.
