Bachman faults Compton for the tone, speculative conclusions, and questionable generalizations found in his book 'In Sacred Loneliness.' He particularly criticizes Compton for problems that he finds in the prologue of the book. He suspects that Compton's biases about plural marriage probably influenced his conclusions and generalizations, possibly causing him to 'filter out contrary positive evidence.'
