In a career spanning over 50 years,Vonnegut published 14 novels, three short story collections, five plays, and five works of non-fiction, with further collections being published after his death.

I read the sentence above on this website:

They say the word “being” couldn’t be omitted because “being” is a gerund. I don’t agree. I think the “being” could be left out without changing the meaning of the sentence. What do you say?
