Do you agree with the statement Robert E. Lee was responsible for the loss of the Battle of Gettysburg?

As the top man, he has to be blamed.
Other factors:
His closest colleague, James Longstreet, did not feel wholehearted about the campaign in general, so he was in low morale.
Cavalry leader Jeb Stuart had been absent for most of the battle, so Lee could not be briefed on the enemy's position.
Also Lee's health was starting to fail, and he was not feeling well during the three days of the battle.
