Sorry. I have to agree with Lisa.

We should be professional enough to provide reasoned counter-arguments. It isn't really that hard to do. Juvenile message board comments are counterproductive.

Case in point: If I'M coming to Dror's defense, you must have said something really, really (ahh, how should I put this........) counterproductive.

The only explanation I can think of for his saying "fraught with error" is that it's more attention-grabbing than saying "there are occasional errors." "Fraught" is clearly inaccurate since it means "full of" or "laden with." (It's related to "freight," for any language geeks out there.)

I personally think Dr Dror might be biased...

But seriously...will we ever know the true error rate in our profession?
Make a difference day by day, case by case. If you don't make a difference you don't count.
