Yes, now it makes sense.  The reason I seek correction, is that people 
often report misinformation, which then gets repeated as "fact" and then 
someone gets all upset about the hazards implied by this "fact" etc. 
One thing I've often noticed, it that the people who report news on the 
TV & radio (and to a lesser extent newspapers) are often incredibly 
clueless, about what they're reporting.  You'd almost think they're all 
natural blonds.  ;-)
