That is too often true. One of the people I forwarded this to was our
assistant general counsel. I work with him frequently when it comes to
legal content in our documentation. Admittedly different content than we
are talking about here, but I feel fortunate that he is open and
receptive and shares what he can. He genuinely appreciates the value of
an editor. Rare, I'm sure.
