I don't think about a vs situation like that, because I feel like a discussion about a "could have been" history is fruitless. I don't think that people are glorifying them in every sense of their personalities or accomplishments, but only in reference to their document. Until we find a better one out there, they will always be remembered for that, and that is totally okay. You can't take away the good that they did, just because it wasn't all good.
