If a worker really knows the group she/he is working on then it does not
present a problem.  It's unfortunate that this has to occur, but it does
when a major monograph is being prepared and additional material is simply
not available.  If it really was a problem, peer reviews would zap it
pretty quickly.  Let's hope.
