The comment it's replying to stated that 1937 quote as if they had checked it. That deception seems ruder to me the language in the comment you're talking about. But I do agree the last sentence could've been omitted while getting the core point across (but we're all only human).

I did.

The version you posted is a 2016 reprint, I’m unsure which is correct.

Fair enough! (BTW I didn't post any version but your point stands.)

Also worth pointing out that I didn’t find the original correction rude unless there was an earlier version of the comment I didn’t see ;)
