True words, but a botched ebook I can deal with by not reading it. A botched home reno maybe not so easy.

Of course a botched ebook may affect many others in countless traumatic ways and can usually be avoided with proper care.

Just saying that some authors are unaware that their spelling and grammer sucks, perhaps as some carpenters are convinced it is your fault and that they can sue when their own foot goes through the hole in the floor they just fixed as they are presenting you with the bill.

We do take our chances in life
