My example was supposed to be where a father and son jointly authored a book, and I had two different formats of the same book, each listing only one of the two authors. So the authors were correct, but not all joint authors were listed. The book was the same, but the authors matched.
I have lots of similar cases. In my pre-Calibre days, when I relied on filename/folder indexing, I named my ebook files with only a single author, and I made multiple copies of each book, when I had multiple authors.
That way I could find the book under each author. When I imported those books into Calibre, each multiple-author book came in multiple times with single authors. I've been slowly merging them and fixing the authorship.

So I think it is safer to not apply the author exclusion list to book searches and let the user make book based exemptions instead.

Agreed (It looks like you are way beyond this by now)
