Kindred,
What makes you think that Lockharts have any real talent that matters?
Grandiose exaggerations, lies, thievery and memory wipes do not count for much in terms of real talent, positive contributions or good deeds.
Blaming the messenger will not change the truth or someone's lack of talent or intellect.
No amount of lies or abuse will change the truth in someone's character and talent or lack of character and talent.
The truth is the truth.
