Good point. People who have only been exposed to Microsoft Windows and
then want to write a report (on a deadline) about an operating system
utterly unfamiliar to them tend to mess things up. Similarly, I notice
that a number of people who write science articles for the newspapers
easily get confused about what is known, what is believed, what is
conjectured, and what is one of 100 equally possible guesses. But they
could be a little less bold in their statements sometimes.....
