That's what makes me think that the blurb was written by an editor. Unless the author were truly ignorant of developments in her field or didn't mind looking like a fool, I doubt very much she'd have written such a claim. To me, it sounds like marketing hype, nothing more. Think of some of those older dustjackets that burble on about how "Miss X. has revived the dying/comatose/dead art of tatting...."
