- Where does it end?
- Did Śrīla Prabhupāda ever order you to revise his books?
- In the new edition of the Gita, is Śrīla Prabhupāda still present?
- Is it appropriate to edit Śrīla Prabhupāda's books after his departure?
- It seems Śrīla Prabhupāda’s poetic style got lost?
- Should we expect Śrīla Prabhupāda to have noticed errors during class?
- Why didn't Śrīla Prabhupāda point out the mistakes?

Many changes were unnecessary
 |
The editors have not merely fixed obvious mistakes. They made so many unnecessary changes that fix no errors and make no improvement to the book. |

Yes, the editors didn’t just fix obvious errors. They also fixed errors that weren’t obvious. Consider: In law, in music, in accounting, in sports—in just about every field of human endeavor—errors that an untrained person may not see should be obvious to a person suitably trained. And so it is with editing.
To assume “If I don’t see an error, it’s not there” is a sign of muddy thinking.
