I believed that too until Hitch actually showed me one. Some things are just best left in the depths of hell!
You remember the one that had what, 200K words of the main narrative text...all in the footnotes? Because the idjit working on it started typing a new "page" AFTER the footnotes, never thinking to put their cursor after the actual body text. Nooooo...let's put the body text IN the footnotes and wait, let's put footnotes IN this body-footnote text!

I mean, honestly, you cannot imagine the things I've seen. Granted, it's not like being a cop, fireman, paramedic, warrior, etc.; I can't claim that this job has given me PTSD, but it's a near thing. Post-Traumatic Conversion Syndrome.
