The Nit-Pickers

Gary North / LewRockwell.com:
All authors suffer from a problem: critical letters telling them they're all wrong. These letters are invariably short. They invariably come from strangers. Some of them are nitwits. Others are merely nit-pickers. I call them "nits." I have received letters from them for about 40 years. As far as I can recall, I have never received a critical letter on an economics article sent to me by a professional economist. I have never had a critical letter from a theologian regarding one of my theological articles. The same applies to historians and my historical articles.
