Why would a scholar who justified the killing of the Father of the Philippine Revolution forge documents hailing the Supremo? It is no wonder that May's work encapsulating his outrageous thesis was REJECTED by the prestigious Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) Press. "Inventing a Hero: The Posthumous Re-Creation of Andres Bonifacio" was turned down by ADMU in the early-1990s because the reviewers found that it failed to meet the publication standards, including the criterion "that the work employed methodology and truthful/factual knowledge about the Philippines and its language(s) and culture(s) in the scholarship efforts of foreigners and Filipinos alike." May later found a publisher with apparently lower standards and in 1996, his dubious work was published.
Meron ba naman patas na hukom na ang a) presiding officer (Mariano Noriel) ay pinangunahan ang kalalabasan at tinawag na ang intensyon ni Bonifacio ay "evil and treacherous," at ang b) abogadong itinakda nila sa Supremo, defense attorney (Placido Martinez), ay hinusgahan rin ang nasasakdal at sinabi ring "evil" daw ang binalak nito? Idagdag pa na ang auditor ng hukom militar ay si Baldomero Aguinaldo na pinsan ng biktima raw ng planong pagpatay ng Supremo.
