It's always a little dubious when modern people pretend to have high confidence about the behaviors of long-dead people to serve their modern purposes. (Another example: oh you're an INFJ, just like Moses from the Bible!)

Yes, it's so lazy. Modern people ought to pretend to greater laziness, and then things would go better.
