It's one thing to read a biography about someone to learn about who they were. It seems to me that a focus on anecdotal stories about someone is more about attempting to create some kind of 'wow' factor in how that person is viewed.
I remember attending some of the semi-annual trainings, and the blendeds always seemed to make a point to share little stories about how faithful/diligent/disciplined/etc that Lee was. It always got some oohs and aahs from the audience. But that seemed to be the only purpose in hearing such stories about him, to impress all of us with what kind of person he was.
