Happy Hillbilly, If you wrote a 400,000 page book with 10,000 pictures about monitors (notice I used the word) and 500,000 people read your book 498,000 people would be impressed (if the pictures were clear and interesting). 498,000 people would talk about it. The point being most people do not have the time or resource to step foot in the field or flesh out the truth about the text.

People who write books are human. Humans make mistakes. If I had to write about every monitor species in fine detail I would either be God or a savant if I did not make mistakes. Frank framed the equation perfectly in my opinion but there is no monitor Bible there will never be a monitor Bible. There are good books, OK books and books that were written because someone wanted to write a book, nothing more. Not one book will ever lay an egg!
