True.  But having looked at the kind of 'error' we are talking about, I'm 
reassured.  It is clear that the reviewers (of high calibre, where names are 
those I know) were highly variable in what they picked up on.  Some at least 
of the points were simply pedantic, and it is inevitable to get some of 
those, unless you write in the style of an academic paper.
