Ah, well, this is another specious part of the argument: I don't think they ever intend the author to read them, anyhow. It's not done in the spirit of "here, Steven Moffatt [or whoever], look how easy it is! Try better!" It's like: Okay, I've "fixed" it to my own satisfaction, so now I can re-encounter the flawed original source-material without wanting to ralph. I've made it palatable for myself. Again, thanks ever so!
