Huh? Why dont you actually try my suggestions before coming up with theoretical objections to them. If you did you would discovers that:

1) If you think that for some reason you are going to be randomly downloading metadata for books you have already edited the metadata for, create a custom column instead of using the authors column. Although practically speaking, the answer is, simply dont download metadata for random books. And if you do happen to do it, use the review button or the cancel button to reject changes you dont want.

2) I suggested using the comments column for that, which is not displayed in the book list and in any case columns in calibre never take up more than a single line
