But, you want to take that attitude, fine.

IMHO You were pushing. You asked for example, then shoved back.
Author data comes from public Meta-data loads.
You can NOT retrieve covers, meta-data with a (made)WRONG author name (it is bad enough, with all the DB errors already)
You can not link to other books by the same Author, if you mess with the name in one book (and it probably DOES have a problem with this condition already without a "tie-breaker" fie;d attached to the Author table. Thank goodness, my collection does not have this problem
)
