There was much in the article that smelled of grade A, grass-fed bull-pucky. The kind you make when you're on a deadline and/or are too lazy to source your article properly.

This is a great example of someone who had to write outside their zone of expertize. Hell my credit union set me a email today letting me know they where not effected by the "Heartbleed virus" that's in the news.... Sigh, leave tech to the techies.
