I wasn’t trying to say that the revision was inherently bad, I was just saying, from the point of view of someone who hasn’t read it, that it may be better for someone to read the unrevised version of something if it was a case similar to the SE films.
Also considering this post:
He’s already like halfway through, though, and the revised came out right before books 5-7, so people were able to deal with the inconsistencies for decades without much trouble.
And I’m not going to be ashamed of my generally purist nature! 😉
