<<Which reopens the question of when one takes the liberty of giving a
peshat contrary to Chazal. Does RSRH have a contrary source in Chazal
to the medrash that turns Esav's act into an attempt to steal -- which
even as a mashal, can't indicate authenticity on his part.>>

Rashbam also takes a very positive attitude towards Esav that the 400
men with him were an honor guard and that he was genuine in his good
feelings towards Yaakov.
