The burden is on you
- the reader - to establish the validity, authorship, timeliness, and integrity
of what you find. Documents can easily be copied and falsified or copied with
omissions and errors -- intentional or accidental. In the general World Wide Web
there are no editors (unlike most print publications) to proofread and "send it
back" or "reject it" until it meets the standards of a publishing house's
reputation. Most pages found in general search engines for the web are
self-published or published by businesses small and large with motives to get
you to buy something or believe a point of view. Even within university and
library web sites, there can be many pages that the institution does not try to
oversee. The web needs to be free like that!! And you, if you want to use it
for serious research, need to cultivate the habit of healthy skepticism, of
questioning everything you find with critical thinking.

Public Stiky Notes
And footnotes or links to confirming sources are tools of the trade for serious researchers.
Hays, e.g., doesn't say: "It's common practice for military leaders to be protected from danger in battle" when he notes that "Mao was carried" on the LM. Nor does he add that Mao had malaria. Nor does he add that "reading" is what military leaders do as they plan their strategies and tactics.
Nor does he mention that Mao surely did more than just flirt and tell his officers to take dance lessons in the months in Yanan after the LM was over.
Short version: He was obviously biased and had an axe to grind about Mao. A more balanced critic of Mao would weigh his strengths and weaknesses, not just cherry-pick his weaknesses.
