Are you gonna re-write some books?

Did it ever occur to you that most textbook authors actually plagiarize each
other.

Since most textbooks have numerous competitors covering essentially the same
material, it is apparent that most of their content is not original, rather
lots of it is "copied" or re-written using a slightly different [improved]
notation and set of symbols.

Have you never noticed the same error in several textbooks by different
authors?

Why does that happen?

With how many textbook authors do you have a personal relationship?

Have you ever reviewed pre-publication drafts of textbooks for publishers...

Worked with authors on corrections to drafts before publication... believe
me if you have why then you would be a lot more cautious in taking textbooks
as gospel.

Textbooks that have become very popular and which have appeared in many
editions/printings are usually pretty good... but even then still often have
significant errata.
