Ishould like to congratulate John Meyer for his article [1] in response to my Westward Ho! article on G.N. Watson [2]. I am glad that he says I motivated him to write, and I completely agree with his statement that 'it is difficult to highlight everything in a brief article' [1,p. 63]. I completely accept that all of us, whether authors or historical figures, are bunches of contradictions and that, in trying to paint a brief sketch of someone's contribution, life and character, it is easy to fall into the trap of oversimplification of the complexity of a life well lived.
