Have you considered the possibility that the "most correct book" might be less correct than, for example, an average sculpture or painting? Certainly at some point as books get smaller they become "booklets," and then just "documents", but that the "most correct book" might be less correct, say, than a sunbeam showing his love for his dad by drawing one of those pictures with huge heads and hands never seems worthy of consideration.

And in what sense is it correct? In its descriptions of historical objects? In the truths it contains?

The bookness--the medium itself--is rarely examined.

I'm not picking on you Indy. I'm just throwing out some food for thought.
