I'm saying that it's not *required*, and therefore it becomes a highly 
situational question of balancing the reader's sensitivity and the 
tircha detzibura against a desire to hear a haftara that doesn't grate 
on the nerves.   There's no "I'm sorry but if we don't correct him we 
won't be yotzei".
