--Somebody recently mentioned not validating by
reading line-by-line because it takes so much time.
This is true, i.e., it does take a lot of time, and
I'm not saying everyone should do it -- people should
do whatever they feel comfortable doing -- but if I
weren't reading this book line by line I wouldn't know
that many sentences were bifurcated, with the other
half being somewhere further down the paragraph, nor
would I know that more than have the time what should
be "he" is written as "be." This was the problem with
the 5 books-in-one-volume The Dark Is Rising, and why
paying members, when they down-loaded, couldn't read
it.
Again, I'm not criticizing anyone or suggesting that
anyone do anything differently -- different people
have different amounts of time to spend. I'm just
citing an advantage of reading the book while
validating it.
