Tony,
Excellent response!! Cannot agree more ..... though I will admit to the occasional literary bungle and factual inaccuracy in my own publications, so, as an author standing squarely within a glass house, I shall try to refrain from throwing stones at institutions with directed accuracy (esp one I worked for, and still retain some regular correspondence with).
I was drawn to some dubious entries on an un-named institution's website late last year concerning certain Australian-operated AFVs, and subsequently privately relayed to the relevant authorities some suggestions for improvement, for which they expressed gratitude. The nub of the problem, however, was that the crap had been posted on their website in the first place. Correcting is one thing: a willingness to put such wildly in-accurate entries before the public in the first place is, in my opinion, the crime.
