I have wondered this same thing. My guess is that Witness Lee could neither hear nor pronounce a distinction between 'foment' and 'ferment', and either the editors didn't pick up on it, thought it was deliberate, or were too timid to correct him. I agree that was not his particular form of subtlety or cleverness.

I found a copy on my ministry shelf a year or so ago and threw it away along with a number of other LSM books, but now I wish I hadn't.
