Comparatively speaking, Professor Blusse is one of the younger and haedier "fools" on the sparse hilltop of research related to the history of the Dutch occupation of Taiwan, because in Taiwan and Japan there are a few old hands who have been cultivating that piece of academic territory for decades.
比較起來，在學界「荷據時代台灣史」這個濯濯山丘上，自稱「傻子」的包樂史教授還算是個「青壯派」。因為在台灣、日本，倒還找得著堅持數十年的寂寂老農。
