How much room is there for criticism of Campbell's technique in Hero with a Thousand Faces? I personally found the book full of unsubstantiated assertion (despite the nigh-comical profusion of footnotes), questionable conclusions and a lot of "curve fitting" of his purported data into his predecided conclusion. I'm sure I can find others who agree. Would a section critical of his theories and approach be apropos or not?
