Whoever wrote this article? Obviously, are you asking a rhetorical question?

Not an rhetorical question at all.

I didn't see any wholistic judgment of the Mongol empire in the article.

The Mongols did tons of amazing, fascinating, and great things. They also did terrible and atrocious things.

The later should not preclude curiosity and appreciation of the former.

Do you really think whoever wrote this article fondly reminisces of the Mongol Empire? If I list some positives of Byzantium does that mean I am fond of whatever they did in aggregate?
