What this proves is what we already knew, which is that Taylor
Kingston and his alter ego Edward Winter go through everything written
or published by their three favorite targets, Larry Evans, Raymond
Keene and Eric Schiller, and search for every case of even the
slightest or most insignificant error or typo and make a major federal
case out of it.
The "book review": subsequently published by Taylor Kingston or Edward
Winter will say something like: "This is a bad book. Why, it contains
five typos and here they are. Nobody should waste their money buying
this book."
The fact that the content of the panned book contains useful and
valuable information is ignored.
At least the members of this group can now see, as one member of this
group has just noted, "Taylor Kingston also likes to remind us that
he's a sanctimonious prig."
