I agree with you about Webb, but this tragic flaw you mention is not a
minor one, both for himself and his family. I think you downplay the
emotional affects his priorities have on all of his family. This loss
of perspective on his own part is what makes him such an easy mark,
and is why his own fellow unionists send him away into the further
wilderness.
