Frankly, I do suspect the MR library and hesitate to use it. This is not the first time an uploader has mentioned taking some "artistic license." And since so many people here are taking a "hey, whatever, what's the big deal" attitude about changes to text, I wonder how many uploaders share that attitude and never mention the "minor" changes they make.
The works here may be nicely formatted, but if the trade-off is changes to text, no thanks. It's too bad that everything gets tarnished with the same brush.
