   If and only if you gave permission to attribute incorrect
   statements to you, surely?

Yes, and the GPL does this, and so does the GFDL in non-invariant
sections.  Hence the need for verbatim-only sections.

   In general, copyright and reputation are two mostly independent
   things and rightly so.

Sure, one is law, the other one isn't.

   For example, I consider having to print the adverts ("invariant
   sections") with a subset of the work painful, to the needlessly
   wasted trees as well as me. Generally too much pain, like using BSD
   with the obnoxious ad clause code, but worse.

Your comparison doesn't make sense, the old BSD license is for
software, the GFDL is for books, manuals, etc.

   You obviously don't get that your distinction is entirely
   arbitrary.

The same can be said for you who consider them the same.
