I agree. Reading it, I felt there were quite a few inferences made with just a dash of artistic liberty. There is some value in adding flair to historical accounts, but not when it potentially distorts important details like, for instance, Newton's character and how he related to people around him. I also doubt that our historical record can support conclusions like these, although I would gladly be disproven. All in all, the writing in this article doesn't make me want to trust that the journalist is treating the topic fairly.
