Not required here as long as the change is trivial. Unlike a newspaper or
print magazine we can fix something later if for some reason the quoted
person were to object. In the years I've been participating, that's never
happened (again, probably due to the trivial corrections I'm talking
about), so it's a corner case for which we don't need to engineer. But
anyone who wants to check back in with the quoted person is welcome to do
so!
