After reading a few brickwork books, you might begin to notice anomalies in the text.
The reasons for this might be:-
Typo errors or careless proof-reading; Regional differences ie mortar, gear, compo, gobbo; Inter-national differences eg soldiers versus sailors or even Archaic versus modern knowledge
Although bricklaying is an Art not a Science, one response is the scienific method of peer-review, where experts justify their claims (but even they can't always agree...)
The best answer is, as always, more research...
This is not a sign that you are turning into a geek, it just reflects that Bricklayers don't always agree, or that OMG, the text-book has got it wrong.
