I find your choice of wording very telling here. Montañez is, by your description, being taken down by "little people" who accuse him of being, of all things, a mere flawed mortal like themselves.
And although you skirted the obvious implication by referencing his story as that not of a "big" man or even a great one but, instead, "famous" or "talented", indicating that you sympathize with the simplistic great man theory of history.

I like to stick to saying what I think. And yes, this man is self-admittedly a regular guy who accomplished something impressive through daring and courage.

That sort of thing really does take daring and courage but I'm not sure I'd call it 'accomplishing something impressive', especially considering that the lies were found out and exposed.

Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I’m not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me!
