So you think she wasn't competent to have written what she wrote because of not having participated in the entirety of the trial and because of her preconceptions? What makes it hard for me to take what you say at face value and as credible source is you writing off the work as BS just because. It's a really important and recognized philosophical work, even if it's not perfect.

Yes I dismiss it for those reasons. I don't think the book would've been nearly as successful without the Eichmann vehicle, the ideas presented were not novel. So when this part of the book is misleading I believe it shouldn't be treated as having value.
