This is probably the vast majority. They won't notice if the population or size of countries or continents are changed in errata, and won't care.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">People who care about demographics to some extent, but don't care if the demographics make sense. This is probably a very small group. They'll use the numbers as printed, and won't care if there's erratta or not.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">People who care about demographics, and care if the demographics make sense. If there's no errata to fix the population density problems, they'll house rule their own fixes on a campaign-by-campaign basis, or won't play in Eberron. While I suspect this is actually a larger group than group 2, it's still not many people.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">People who wouldn't notice illogical demographics on their own, but if it's pointed out to them, it'll drive them nuts when they think about it. That's probably me.</li> </ol>So my guess is that issuing an errata would be helpful to the people who care about such things (admittedly a small group), as there'd be a consistent fix, and no one else would care. So why not do it?</blockquote>
