Even if we were not only too aware of this already - we learn little about the world view - but we do learn that pedants are always eager to make capital, create a fuss and point out the slightest error that others may make. Even and especially when these others are known for such 'gaffs' and they are hardly unexpected from that quarter. When such 'gaffs' are expected and few would be surprised - as in this case - it presents an opportunity for toleration and for us all to accept that as human beings we all make such cock-ups. Even the pedants among us.
