Current Affairs did NOT try to find the Crew Change Guide before claiming it's not available online.

True.

I'm not going to worry about that, though. Sometimes life is better when you don't nitpick at every detail, and just enjoy the ride. And the overall article is about exactly that, so I'll forgive the author for letting the mythology seep into reality a bit.

I personally am allergic to journalists misrepresenting fiction as fact

I agree with that, too, but I found this to be more of a creative essay, not journalism.
