Now, I believe Scott is more of an inspiration, which also makes him some kind of a hero. What I think a lot of people tend to forget is, that no one really knew how bad it would be.
There were not any accurate weather prognoses for the south pole at the time so, no one would know what a realistic answer would be based on how much food was needed, and how much clothes you should wear for such expedition.
