yes, i do fully understand it.

i didn't care to talk too much about the in-copyright stuff,
because i believed that the less said about that, the better.
i can talk about that if you want to delve into it deeper, but
remember i do support the overall mission of archive.org...

so, do you want me to talk about that?

first, though, answer me this: do you believe archive.org's
o.c.r. of in-copyright material will be significantly better?

i'm using the public-domain material to show the problem,
simply because it's all i can see, and conveniently point to.
but do you believe in-copyright o.c.r. will be problem-free?

there's a chance that newer books will o.c.r. more cleanly,
but if not, do you think archive.org will make corrections?
will they bring their e-books up to a standard of _quality?_

i don't think so.

so i, too, stand behind the point which i have been making.
