I was wondering the same thing, but (for whoever ends up here next, pondering the same choice) the whole investigation seems to be pretty much superfluous. The only lore you get is one of two different paragraphs at the conclusion, both of which have the Hearty Philologist tell you the same thing (all of the significant pieces of information are included in the summarized results, and I think I've run into the same information elsewhere in the game), and then he either twitches or has his hair ignite, and you leave.

What's more, the A bold and original plan ending (as I commented on the conclusion page) burns significantly more turns for little more than an additional 0.2E in Cryptic Clues and some potential nightmares.
