There was no comment section for that article and no documented way to
reach the author so I gave up on sending in a correction. :-(
I thought I found a comment box, but you needed to be signed up with a

In any case, the problem in getting anything actually printed is that
you have to write it in a way that is interesting to the non-technical.
I already wrote such a comment for the Slashdot article about the same
