It's hardly shallow. Nevala-Lee's book is well-sourced, and the author worked closely with the BFI. The error seems to have been that past writers' MO was to uncritically take Fuller's claims (even the mutually contradictory ones—of which the book documents many) at face value.
The best evidence of shallow reading and speculative guesswork connected to this article, ironically, is the one I quoted above...
