Heh. Sagacity? Thanks! I will say that I am perhaps a little primed/prepared to assume that typos are present since I have long lived by the mantra "it's always a typo". This comes from software coding. Bugs which seem weird and inexplicable are often resolved easily by remembering "it's always a typo" (until it isn't, but 'typo' is a dependable starting point).
