Why use this kind of reasoning to keep these books from seeing the light of day?

It is the difference between the ideal and the practical. Ideally, we could post the incomplete texts and someone would notice the missing pages, find them and add them. In practice, once it is posted, it takes an act of god for further updates to occur. At DP, we have a pretty good number of books that get fixed this way. Once it is posted, that number would virtually disappear. Josh
