Perhaps I am out of line here, but surely "The Most pertinacious errors" ought to include such things as "the physical characteristics of one group people make them intellectually, culturally, and economically inferior to another." or "Any entity that has the power to do so has the right (if not the obligation) to obliterate people, cities, landscapes, oceans, mountains, and the skies themselves if they interfere with a master plan." Given that, literary mis-attributions are annoying.
