Alright, here goes. I'm a fan of this writer. He's got a way with words. But in this piece about Billy McFarland, something felt off. He grouped Nelson Mandela with people who transformed after prison. Last time I checked, Mandela was put behind bars for standing up to injustice, not for scamming people.

It's a bit of a slip, don't you think? And it stings because this guy's got a talent. He's got a platform. And sometimes, that can be a double-edged sword. Misinformation can sneak in. It's on us, the writers, to fact-check before we hit 'publish'.

But hey, what do I know? Maybe Mandela and McFarland were cellmates. Either way, it looks like our writer's not stopping to correct course. He's already churning out his next piece without replying to comments. Writing about articles on how to be a prolific writer without having to engage with readers correcting your misinformation. Talk about being dedicated to the craft!
