Sunday Times

It seems that the Sunday Times is embracing the definition of "Theory" favored by the wider Murdoch empire - not the normal "self-consistent and empirically supported explanation", but the non-football version of the acronym WAG.

It's also somewhat embarrassing to see the term "pilot error" in use in a supposedly reputable newspaper at the end of 2013. Even if there turns out to have been fault on the pilot's part, errors don't just happen spontaneously - they have causes. It's a completely unhelpful term.

I guess it's a shame that the dead probably can't sue for defamation.
Perhaps this might be a case for Scottish law to deviate from English?
