I tried to make this point above. Moore had the talent, the material, and the eye for factual detail to tell her story in as compelling a manner but without embellishment. I certainly would have preferred it.
I've taken the story overall as she told it. There were no red flags to me in the cited material; I found the evidence of the girls' suffering against corporate coldness especially as manifested in outright lies and stonewalling sufficient. Again, there's the reality that sometimes a popular treatment is enough.
