He looked down at the pamphlet however, and his satisfaction was a trifle impaired. "I am not sure that this is quite my best work," he said timidly "a little hazardous perhaps."

As long as it was only the left drawer instead of the right, and red ink instead of black, I thought it must be the chance blunders of a forger, as you say.
The value of the method may remain, however inaccurate may be the assumptions of facts. The 'tendency, if interpreted to mean that people are always multiplying too rapidly, may be a figment.
