So many people here have no idea how things work and are far more interested in virtue signaling over an error (and making spiteful downvotes) than in correcting it, so we get ignorant and intellectually dishonest rubbish like

> I think readers should take this as an illustrative example of how often people/institutions draped in such quasi-credentials are carelessly wrong on basic things.

and

> how many people had to be asleep at the wheel for the truth-reversing error to get published, & persist for months? Does no one at the CBC – with pride in its work & any familiarity with these topics – read CBC's slop?

I, OTOH, sent them a note and they quickly fixed the article. Errors like this "persist for months" simply because no one takes the time for such a simple action when they encounter an error ... I'm the only person among those who commented here who did so. And no, of course no one at the CBC or anywhere else spends their time rereading their months-old articles to see if some error made its way in.

I just wanted to say thanks for actually taking the time to make the situation better for everyone, rather than complaining.

And thank you ... I really appreciate that.
