I just read that the authors wrote their own bios for this editor. They were then edited down to the right number of words if necessary, typeset and given back to the authors for a final proofing. So Bambi himself was the one who wrote that he was born in Kenya.
You betcha! You might want to start a thread linking the source of that information so the media who are following FR will have easy access. (too lazy to do their own work)
