Love the article. I wish I could give it more than 50 stars.

In the spirit of constructive critique from a supporter and ally... I think you would be on firmer footing to go with Caesar or Alexander instead of Washington. We can go to Mount Vernon and (given the right permissions - or doing so illegally) break into Washington's tomb, access his remains, and run scientific tests on them. But...

Otherwise, I agree with all your points.
