I can see Jim using it tangentially... Like, Mab and "her people" (maybe just her Knight) are in negotiations with Marcone and "his people."
Marcone's lawyer goes pale when he sees Mab, "are we litigating against... her? I've done that before, and... as your lawyer, I would advise against it."

Phew. Got through this entire thread. It's amusing how some people seem to know more than Jim Butcher about his own story. You can't fill in the blanks in a sketch like this and then write pages about how your filled blanks must be mistakes by Jim. Yikes.

Well... crazy house-of-cards speculations are what WAGs like these are all about, after all!
Wild Ass Guessing, baby! Don't knock it 'til you've tried it! ;).
Also, Jim freely admits that he DOES make mistakes, forgets stuff, changes his momedit:mind and, etc etc etc... So there's that.
But it's ALSO true that sometimes something that someone spots as a "continuity error" or other mistake, "and therefore my pet theory <X> is obviously true!!!1!1!!" turns out to be Jim dropping a hint that All Is Not As It Seems.

19 pages out of 600 word short story. You nerds.

In my opinion, it's a 600-word short story with implications way beyond any other short he's ever written, with the possible exception of Backup and the explanation of the Oblivion War. This story puts Morgan's actions across the whole series in a totally new light and implies a level of familiarity that's totally unaddressed in the main series, and likely never will be. I mean, just that Morgan knew about Nemesis 10-20 years ago is a big deal, let alone the idea that he was supposed to look out for Harry because he promised Margaret.
On the other hand, I totally agree that many or most of us are nerds.
