I never thought about it, but I heard some criticism of Ken Burns' documentaries. The guy has been at it for decades, but his style and manner of working hasn't changed one bit over the years. I don't know if it means he's playing it safe. There's thesis and antithesis---maybe, by the time any of us heard of him, he had already achieved synthesis. I don't know what he should do differently.
So why did Ernest Hemingway ever think that dying in World War One was for a good cause? Not everyone did back then. I had a couple of great uncles who were disappointed that the war ended before they could enlist and everyone else in the family thought they were idiots.
