	Because of his long career as a fiction writer, much of Herbert's non-fiction was called into question. He always made the point to distinguish between known fact, theory, and his own opinions, and was very meticulous about ~~sighting~~ his references and even verifying their references. In fact, Herbert frequently disproved long-held beliefs with his exhaustive fact-checking.		Because of his long career as a fiction writer, much of Herbert's non-fiction was called into question.

	But he was also fond of referencing his own books; not as factual sources, but as more detailed pictures of life in the times he was writing about. He did this partially to boost sales, but mostly to give his readers a bigger window into the past. Unfortunately, this move became fodder for his critics. So too, was his relationship with the dragon [[Ferrimeso]].
