"The participants were instructed to reproduce the source text within thirty minutes." As a Latex user I would never use it for writing a 30 minutes text. I will use LibreOffice for that. If the source text is made in Word of course it is going to have errors, defining error as "a different outcome that original word document text generates". We DO use Latex for writing 300+ pages books, and Latex is great for it: -It is not proprietary. -Very easy to program and use different UI programs to modify the same document. We write using mostly voice, we edit it visually. -Very easy to interface with our own software, for example for creating automatic graphs from sensors.
