Read about the conversations between Fischer and Boukreev as established by Fischer's publicist.
Yeah, that's the most damning thing.

Indeed, Fischer’s publicist, Jane Bromet, is quoted in the book as saying: “Scott told
me... [before the summit bid] that if there were problems coming down, Anatoli
would make a rapid descent [to Camp IV at the South Col] and come back up the
mountain with oxygen...” Bromet claims to have told Krakauer about this
conversation. Yet Krakauer makes no reference to it in his book.
Krakauer didn't include it, because it didn't fit with his plan to lynch Boukreev.

I suspect K. did the same thing with the Lafferty clan. He knew the father of the Lafferty clan was CUCKOO, but he did not include any information to that effect. Why? Because it wasn't a crazy father that made crazy kids. It was a crazy religion that did it.
