Amazed this generated into such outrage here. Saw threads on this in a couple other forums I frequent and there was really no bickering.
When you boil it down nothing really needs to be said other than it was just an inadvertent typo and people would have to be wound way too tight to get upset over it. But at the same time, the publisher could have handled it much better from a PR stand point by just saying it was a typo and apologizing for the mistake. I can say people are would to tight over it, but the publisher shouldn't for PR reasons.
