And yet, even it there is one,(and if you know of one could you please point them out for the sake of the argument) that is their prerogative. If it goes so against your beliefs for them to do that then by all means don't buy their book.
I'm not sure this is the killer argument that you think it is. Author's wishes for their works are overriden all the time.

Not sure what you mean by killer argument. I was not attempting to kill the discussion at all. Nor was I trying to prove my correctness or anything like that, which could conceivably require "killing" schex86's argument.
May I ask, did you actually read and understand my comment and its context or merely quote and respond?
I did not remark upon an authors
wishes for their work.
I commented upon the reason
why an author may write the work in the first place.
Do you see the difference?
As your point doesn't address mine in any way I don't see any reason to respond futher to yours.
