How do you reconcile

"pg's writing... always seemed to lack anything beyond a surface level of introspection"

with

"when it comes to his writing style and the quality of his prose, I think he's generally top notch"?

And "Given how influential his essays have been, I think he's qualified" - do you not see a problem with equating influence/popularity with quality/truth (let alone morality)?
