If the "sweep" washes away the authors with no books attached, do we need to bother correcting those?

No, unless they had fans. Not completely sure how autosweep works; but, I thought some message somewhere in this group said something about how author profiles having fans were not auto-swept. If fans, editing to merge with correct author profile also moves the fans to the right profile.
(Although I am starting to get curious how often autosweep runs. A librarian can poke at change log down at bottom to see date profile was created I suppose but at time it was created it might have had books and someone edited author name on books instead of on author profile ... )
