Putting the exchange in writing puts it on the record so no one can claim misquotation.
This indirection took a number of forms, including the deliberate misquotations discussed above, as well as titles that had little apparent connection to the painting at hand.
That is a complete misquotation, and a misrepresentation.
I do not want to interrupt, but it is very difficult to sit still and listen to misquotations and perversions of the truth.
It does not come within my province to correct misquotations.
With the greatest respect, that is a misquotation.
