Personally, though, I like it when an author says "according to..." when using information from a source. The tendency to present opinion as fact is one of the reasons why these biographies can be so misleading.
I have the version of the book which doesn't contain the addendum, although I have read the addendum. I think Eliot was upset that after portraying Don so glowingly, Don then turned against him so hard.
