But, well, I've read this so often in recent years that it can't all be a lie, can it?

I notice that the assistant is also singled out. Obviously an entire team was involved and the "editor" was managing the team overseeing the project. That is a textbook definition of a Project Manager.
Having known my share of Project Managers I can attest that Project Managers *can* be collaborators in guiding the productive types to successful results. The best ones are even really good at it.
Looking at the job descriptions of most of the BPH "editors" I'd have to agree they do more Management and delegation than the old time editors.
John W. Campbell they're not.
