<p><span class="autocomment">Contradiction between lead and Cacao section on fermentation frequency and sequence: </span> new section</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Contradiction between lead and Cacao section on fermentation frequency and sequence ==<br /> <br /> The lead and the Cacao section give inconsistent accounts of how cocoa beans are processed, in two respects.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;1. Frequency of fermentation.&#039;&#039;&#039; The lead states: &quot;They are &#039;&#039;&#039;usually&#039;&#039;&#039; fermented to develop the flavor, then dried, cleaned, and roasted.&quot; The Cacao section describes cocoa beans as &quot;the &#039;&#039;&#039;dried and often fermented&#039;&#039;&#039; seeds of the cacao tree.&quot; &quot;Usually&quot; and &quot;often&quot; are not equivalent — &quot;usually&quot; implies fermentation is the norm (more than half the time, typically the default), while &quot;often&quot; implies it is frequent but not necessarily the norm. The two sections cannot both be right about how routinely fermentation occurs.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;2. Order of steps.&#039;&#039;&#039; The lead gives the sequence as: ferment → dry → clean → roast. The Cacao section, by describing the beans as &quot;dried and &#039;&#039;&#039;often&#039;&#039;&#039; fermented seeds&quot;, lists drying before fermentation. These two orderings contradict each other within the same article.<br /> <br /> One of the two descriptions needs to be corrected for internal consistency.
