Can we add S. M. Sterling to the list? He's spent at least three books (and probably more, but I've given up in disgust) trying to convince me that the reason archers wear bracers on their forearms is because the string hits them there every time they shoot. Every. Time.
And yet he did the research on who makes really good traditional bows, and talks about bowmaking with the correct details! ARGH. Maddening.
