*sigh*  I figured one person taking my "I always thought it stood for
something else" as a genuine indication of confusion was a simple case of
misunderstanding my comment because nonverbal cues are absent in email.
But more than one?  *sigh* again.

(Hint:  'Pretty decent _until the end_'.  As in 'this is the one glaring
error in the article'.)
