Article bemoaning the inability of even the erudite popular press to get IT issues right, using as a focus an article about IPv6 and its necessity as misreported by the BBC. Indeed it often appears that the level of press information, far from abetting informed choices, confuses more than it counsels. The most disturbing point the author raises, which is one I encounter whenever I detect an error in an information source is this: if we are reading a book which addresses some things which we know, and some we do not, and the part we do know has multiple errors, how much can we rely upon that part of the exposition about which we know little or nothing?
My answer to that is fairly blunt, if not actually pungent.
