Hmm. Which half do you see as wrong? The half where the publishers really could be the problem, or the half where we don't really know what the case is?
I generally find it's best to make sure that what I'm getting all worked up about is actually so, that way I find I make a donkey of myself far less frequently. In this case, I'm just trying to avoid losing sight of the obvious, yes they're obvious points, but that's exactly why folks tend to lose track of them: they fade into the landscape.
