And from another point of view:  military leaders often study 
historical generals, (Alexander, Ceasar, Nelson, Lee) they'll read 
any thing written by or about the historical person and apply that 
information to the modern situation.  How much better to be able to 
speak with a "form" of that person. Even better if that "form" could 
also go look things over.
