the "luxury of publishing monthly" has nothing to do with it: it's the rule of caveat
emptor that applies here, in the sense that anybody who relies on the "news media" for

To reallys stretch the analogy,you wouldn't attempt open-heart surgery after reading

something as arcane as the metric system.
