Well, I can't help but understand that -- that's rather apparent.

But since neither of us are lawyers, and we are not in court, whatever we believe is moot. Let's please stop this discussion (or continue it somewhere else, this is not the place for it).

A trained monkey wouldn't know that the word "bitter" (in Sonnet #91) should, in fact, be "better."
More significantly, even most trained humans wouldn't know that "rn'wd" (in Sonnet #73) shouldn't be corrected to "ruin’d" (as most editors correct it as), but rather to "rwn'd" (although that does mean "ruin’d," of course). Only a person who is well-familiar with obscure, early printed English texts would have any clue about that.
Anyway, whatever.
