Indeed it is fair to say! And as Kinnear also points out he was an authoritarian. He tightly controlled "the work" once he went to Taiwan and of course once he came to the U.S. You did it his way or you were gone. Period. If you happened to be living in an LC owned house you and your family were shown to the curb in short order. No mercy for those who will not follow lockstep.
