Well, errors could matter. After all, scholarship is built on trust and
faith in the work of other scholars. A group of minor errors could
lead to other errors and so on until much greater inaccuracies spring
forth as truth. One could be off by a day, the next a week, then a
month, or carry an inaccuracy into the next year. Then events overlap
or collide and claims of accuracy refer back to differing writers with
various dates and facts.
I believe pointing out errors to be a scholarly duty and welcome
this service from anyone. The reviewer, in this case, was kind enough
to praise the work in other ways while still noting some factual errors.
