[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 4785145, member: 6562"] Nope. The fallacy is: 1/ "I found an error!" 2/ "Therefore, I am superior to those who did not find this error!" 3/ "Therefore, I shall decree that they are incompetent!" Now, if you could do what John Cooper did (which was to [u]consistently[/u] and [u]repeatedly[/u] find and correct a bookfull of errors per book), then you'll have the rhetorical justification to say things about the competence of someone else's editing. But finding one error => WotC gets nothing right? There's a missing sense of perspective. Complain away. But have [u]new[/u] complaints when your old ones turn out to be not that big a deal. This is a very minor error -- to the point some people in this thread have argued that it's not actually an error at all. Add it to the error list and let's move on. Cheers, -- N [/QUOTE]
