The question now is:
How long will they take to "fix" the article?
At least the online version can be fixed, but a print copy needs an errata
in a subsequent edition.
Will they pay attention to letters to the editor about it?
Will they fix it at all, or even acknowledge the error?

Don't hold your breath. If anyone has read Tony Rothman's hilarious
essay, "A Physicist on Madison Avenue," about his year or so as a
member of the SciAm editorial staff, you'll know what drives the
management of the magazine.

Never ask someone what computer they use. If they use a Mac, they
will tell you. If not, why embarrass them?
