And it's also possible that it was an outright error.

A typo in one version of my GEDCOM made Christopher Gist
his own grandfather.  In spite of the warnings and
disclaimers on WorldConnect, this has been copied and
republished by at least two others.

Kindred Konnections, in violation of the prohibition
in the GEDCOM file, put it on a CD for commercial sale.

Ancestral file that looked nearly identical and traced
the same Christopher Gist all the way back to Adam & Eve.
