It's often helpful not to immediately assume bad faith without further enquiry. It appears that Fabien had reviewed the book beforehand and he has reposted John Carmack's tweet[1] linking the book.

I thought "I'm sure it's not intentional" would make it clear that I'm not assuming bad faith - actually the opposite, I'm assuming good faith.
Understood. It's reasonable to call out potential conflict while also being unclear on intention. Something as simple in the Keen book author acknowledging the proofreader would put to rest the ambiguity central to the discussion point in contention.
Turns out it was intentional. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48550425
