I guess the Economist pays by the word.
The facts in the entire article could easily have been expressed in
maybe one quarter of the space.
Maybe I was pre-conditioned to dislike the example by the pretentious
use of "your correspondent" where "I" would have sufficed - it was a
twee affectation when it was done in the gossip columns of 50 years
ago, when it at least had the excuse of protecting the identity of the
pseudonymous authors.
I always preferred the editorial "we".
