D'oh! My careless reading, as bad as the luckless typesetter's. I stupidly
took the first cite as the earlier (on-top-ology recapitulates file-ology).
The typo dynamics remain valid, however, as someone else noted.

And all this time I thought the paperback was the earlier edition, and it
never occurred to me the difference was a simple typo! Do you know, I
puzzled over that sentence "all the worlds will be born" for a good fifteen
years, until I read the Scribner's version?
