I cant see any point to your assertion, envy springs to mind with most
baseless accusations, but even given what you assert about Montagne as
being true, that he was a mason, so what, was Escoffier, Phileas
Gilbert, Prosper Sallles contributions to the Larusse irrelevant?

Prosper Montagne was also a Chevalier of the Legion d'Honneur.
