Besides, lots of historians base their whole careers on surprising the world with new, controversial takes on major (and minor) characteristics of famous historical figures. And their evidence is good enough not to be easily dismissed by the mainstream. You can question anything if you dig deeply enough.

Of course they are (not the most major but surely great). Otherwise you should accept with no frustration Mata Hari in Nike shoes (Henke words), Napoleon wearing a robe in the battles and Ceasar wearing sunglasses in the Coloseum
As for the research, we can't deny everything that is considered correct today
in condition that in 10 years a new historian will come up with something new.
