Although Cassini's control did restrict the Observatory's studies and although he did fight against most of the new theories, his behaviour does not seem as uniformly tyrannical and baleful as Delambre described it.
Kahit Cassini's control did rendahan ang obserbatoryo ng pag-aaral at kahit na siya ay labanan laban sa karamihan ng mga bagong theories, ang kanyang pag-uugali ay hindi mukhang bilang uniformly mapaniil at baleful bilang Delambre inilarawan ito.
