Standard stuff, really.  The reporter misunderstands something, or
"simplifies the explanation" for the article, or it gets edited
for length by the publisher,  until the explanation given is --
well -- no longer true.

This happens with almost every technology article that attempts
any depth; we should be unsurprised.
