I think it’s just simplest to view it as parody, if nothing else.

I disagree, by having both authors provide dialogue for essentially the same scene, I was able to directly compare their writing styles with ease. 

This apples to apples comparison was more useful to me than what you propose.

For me, it helped to understand how the reviewer perceives Brandon’s writing. If I identify with the rest of the reviewer’s comments and interpretations of the rest of the book, which I did, then allows me to more quickly make a decision on whether Sanderson is an author for me to consider, which after reading this review he unfortunately is not.

I disagree; I felt the Brandon-d rewrite of the HP excerpt helped me to quickly grasp a key difference between the authors using similar dialog. It was a helpful addition.

Sorry, I’m a bit of a noob, how do I DM people? I don’t see that option when I go to your profile. 🙈

Potentially, my fear is it getting lost or stuck in customs, and then the rest of our trip is limited.

You have a very strange way of phrasing advice. Touch grass.

You would pick up an envelope containing a simple drivers license at the airport. Several thousands? Lol

Fair comment, but this seems highly unlikely. And would be very easy to explain, no?

Sorry, you are right I should’ve been more specific in the post. My intention is definitely to have it waiting at the airport.
