And this, friends, is why blogs are the source of so much disinformation.

They look professional, the writers seem smart, and yet they will say the dumbest shit.

Shame on you Gruber. Not cool.

EDIT: HEH. I guess Gruber still has a lot of fans on HN.

This has nothing to do with Gruber fans or not. Your take just isn't as smart as you thought it is. Highly regarded newspapers, tv programs or books have updates / retractions all the time as even with the best fact checking it's possible that something slips through.

How is this Gruber's fault? What level of verification do you expect of a tech blog discussing the experience of another tech blogger?

This is a very strange take. We got a full-throated retraction. Error correction is a hallmark of trustworthiness.
