One point is subscribers deserve the best value for what they pay for. I would say most readers who are not familiar with a particular topic take what is published as factual, accurate and thorough just because of the FPA name and the Author's name.

The sad reality is I bet at least 1 person will jump John about his posting this instead of debating the technical validity of this critique.
