And this might be a sweeping statement but I think men are much more anal about the minutiae than women. Don’t shoot me down in flames for saying that!

It's got nothing to do with the sexes. It's about finding out facts, and presenting them. She doesn't need any kind of apologia re minutiae. It's the lack of minutiae that has led people to believe that Dowding was sacked, and the Bf 110 pure fighter units needing Bf 109 escort in the BoB (yes, one of my pet peeves!).
And I would venture to suggest that every writer on the Battle of Britain is passionate about the subject. Show me one who isn't...
