Hm.

A - Most researchers who take their work seriously will put in the extra effort 
to ensure it’s well presented.

B - Don’t worry about small (contingent) mistakes.

That smacks of either a contradiction or a resolvable conflict. Though perhaps 
there's some wiggle room in the "most researchers". There exist some 
researchers, who take their work seriously, yet who don't worry about small 
mistakes. Or perhaps there's wiggle room in "well presented". "Well presented" 
doesn't (necessarily) exclude (all) small mistakes.

I'm sure I'm alone, here. But in the end, ethical, aphoristic, vague heuristics 
like these are nearly useless. They speak to those who are pre-adapted to hear 
them. The rest of us spin around asking "What does *that* mean?!?!" And "what 
does *that* mean!?!"
