I think this represents one of the problems of progress. I have actually had
things like that make it into print.

It is so easy to make small changes in a ms.  I have sent copy off to
editors, and taking one last look, make a small change in a word of phrase
without noticing its effect on other parts of the sentence. In the olden
days, when to change one word you needed to retype the entire page, such
glitches didn't happen. Other ones did.
