I believe a moderator should step in and lock this topic, the source is clearly wrong and people are getting the wrong idea.
Why the hell should they lock? What infraction of the forum rules did I make in creating this thread?
That is a draconian suggestion.
I clearly state all the concerns I personally have in the OP, and ask for help to confirm whether this article is accurate or not.
If the article were locked and no one could communicate about things like this, then how would we ever find out if they were accurate or journalistic errors?
Communication is a good thing, and if it turns out to be inaccurate, but the thread was locked, then it's likely someone else will see the same article and make a new thread about it tomorrow. Much better to keep this one open.
