Ha!,
I wasn't trying to give Mounce an excuse. I think it was cheap of him not
to answer his own workbook. My point was that the workbook answers might
not be as accurate as you would expect from Mounce himself. Also, I think
Mounce would have provided workbook solutions that were solely based on
information found in his textbook. His protoge, on the other hand, gives
many solutions that include grammatical knowledge not found in Basics of
Biblical Greek. Don't get me wrong, Mounce is totally responsible for
letting this guy do his work. Using a T.A. for a class is one thing, using
a T.A. for a nationally published and bestselling work is another.
