Let me ask:  if you own up to an oopsie, do you object to a pencilled correction in the book with the notation "per LMB 05/02/08" in the margin?  That's what I did with P. 305, anyway.  I don't think I would correct the accidental plural (the meaning is obvious, even if the number of hands is incorrect).
