Article reported it wrong, then?
You're right, I went on a news article full of misconceptions. Thank you for pointing it out.
Ah, alright; that makes more sense. Journalism fail.
There were many news articles stating this that were corrected for grossly exaggerating the situation. I would suggest going back and re-reading the source material to see if it has been updated or has disappeared.
It's also unfair to blame the article. The actual press releases headline was correct and precise about this. The only place it got messed up was the HN headline.
Ah apologies, I read the original news article incorrectly it seems.
Looks like the author corrected the article.
The Atlantic now has a WARNING on top of this article: Editor’s Note: After The Atlantic published this article, new information emerged that has raised serious concerns about its accuracy, and about the credibility of the author, Ruth Shalit Barrett. We have established that Barrett deceived The Atlantic and its readers about a section of the story that concerns a person referred to as “Sloane.” We are sharing with our readers what we have learned so far.
The article doesn't seem to contain this text anymore. Which is good, since it was false.
That article was originally about me and was wrong. So there's that.
