Personally, I’d be very interested to compare the texts, and see whether the errors seem like the sort which can be made by imperfect transcription.
Joey Smith claims he was dictating only one word at a time...
How bad could it be ???
The word was supposedly right in front of him...
“it” “came” to” “pass”
If the transcriber needed to know how to spell a word...
“Pass. How is that spelt?”
Joey: “P-a-s-s.”
Remember the word didnt disappear from the rock-in-the-hat until it was read back to Joey...and 100% CORRECT..
Well, as correct as a yawny fable can be...
Eh, Mark Twain ???
