<<If "inadvertently" means "unintentionally" and/or "accidentally," would
"advertently" mean "intentionally" and/or "on purpose"?
Inadvertently means carelessly; advertently attentively.  So,
unintentionally/intentionally, yes, but a connotation of paying attention,
rather than having intention.  The word choice depends on your conclusion
about how knowledgeable the writer might be, and thus what the intention
might be.  I like blithely, myself.
