I agree with this reading; however the way I read GR you can apply that
statement much more broadly, something like "nothing anyone ever does is
free of taint from [colonialism, capitalism, Freemasonry,...]" I don't know
that I would single out Enzian's love for Weissman as tainted over and above
every other sympathetic character's every thought and action.
