Great Caesar's Ghost! I can even refer to this last month's discussion at the New Leaf Book Club here where it was
women who detected and objected vociferously to the errors and outright copying done by the male author of the selected book. In fact, I don't attach any significance to its being women, but I'm offering it as a rebuttal.
