            Abstract : 
Two venerable errors found in textbooks since the early days of electrical engineering (namely diode demodulator or envelope detector distortion and power factor definition) are mentioned as examples of what must always be expected. A tentative plan is offered for purging such errors, as they are discovered, from the literature
