Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Replying to [comment:44 DJPaul]:
 > With the http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/easel theme, it access
 $authordata->thing directly without checking if the property exist. As we
 set post_author = 0 in the reset function, $authordata is never set and
 this throws a php warning. Do we care about this situation, or want to
 consider setting post_author = 1?
 Good catch, but I don't think it matters. Accessing array keys or object
 variables directly is fragile, and at worst triggers a debug notice for
 those of us with WP_DEBUG on. Annoying, but not worth worrying about too
 much.

 Would probably make a better patch upstream to the theme author, to put an
 empty() check in there to avoid the notice(s) as needed.
