Stern sees, for example, "a significant distinction" between Kennedy being advised that Castro was "denying" the presence of Soviet missiles in his country (as The Kennedy Tapes had it) and his hearing that Castro was "conniving" to put them there. He also notes that some omissions in The Kennedy Tapes—phrases rendered unintelligible or passed over altogether—can leave false impressions. In other cases, though—calling Ike a "facilitator" instead of a "soldier"—the correct word helps us understand the sentence, but the wrong word didn't radically upset our sense of the conversation. The nuances are important, but they are mostly nuances.
