Sorcha is no "neophyte". She's been here longer than I have, and has helped a great many people with their questions over a good few years.

The problem, historically, is that far too much material has been incorporated, uncritically and unchecked, into the permanent database; and that that database, because of the obsolete format in which it is held, cannot be updated piecemeal.

As a result, it can take years for an error to be corrected; meanwhile, that error will be copied (usually without attribution) onto any number of websites. Dick Greenhaus is currently looking into ways of remedying the DT's inadequacies in this respect. He never intended the DT to be "an authority", but, like it or not, people regard it as such; so the matter must be addressed.
