#ProductionErrors

Even in the time of #StarTrek #Enterprise, there clearly is still a place for proof readers, since their proof reading software apparently hasn't picked up the typo of "own" as "won" in the last paragraph.

I assume that whoever wrote the biography, must've written it manually still, contrary to Jonathan Archer, who was later in the episode seen as dictating his preface for the book to the computer's text to speech engine, since I can't see how TTS software could interpret "own" as "won".

A screenshot from "Singularity", the ninth episode of the second season of Star Trek: Enterprise.
It shows a screen in captain Jonathan Archer's ready room, displaying a draft of the biography of his late father, Henry Archer, which seems to be titled "Gallo".

«in the midst of his disappointment. Archer began to realize a new truth.

Yes, the Vulcans would continue to obstruct Archer's work, as they always had. Yes, there were those in the program directorate who would continue to bend to the Vulcan's wishes. But Soval's passive aggression revealed his blind spot.

Never, Archer realized, did the Vulcans consider the possibility that the humans' derivation of the flux paradox might be as valid as the Vulcans'. Certainly, they never imagined that Archer's elegant mathematics might have even been more accurate than those of his mentors from Vulcan.

In another circumstance, the paradox of the Vulcans' ego-driven blindness might have struck Archer as outrageously funny. But after so many months-years - of frustration, Henry Archer merely smiled inwardly.

That evening, Archer returned to the materials lab. This time, he would run the entire field analysis protocol, and he would use his won [sic] parameter set. He told no one of his plan, for he knew he could not press the issue with the director until he'd proven his point. But he was confident that his parameters would demonstrate the inherent integrity of the scaler stabilization geometry.»
