I understand that his latest effort had to be re-written by editors to make it even vaguely readable.

And yep...the public gobbles up tripe because they can't get their heads around anything that actually requires them to think. Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln is hardly what you might call scholarship but you can pretty well guarantee that of those that gobbled up da Vinci probably less than 0.00001% went on to read the Holy Blood.
And Holy Blood has long been debunked. Even the third Gabriel Knight game at least had fun with it and threw shit like VAMPIRES into the mix.

Gabriel Knight has something in common with IT, someone tie it together ^_^
