Harold, Wiseman's treatment is not very compelling. He uses the 'left-handed albino midget' type of argumentation: possible, but not all that probable. He seems motivated by a desire to make history fit into a Danielic shape. I don't find it convincing. David Valeta's approach, using satire, is far more convincing, in my opinion. I recommend his new book, 'Lions and Ovens and Visions', and his short article 'Court or Jester Tales' in the journal 'Perspectives on Religious Studies'.
