I remember when that article wildly mis-describing the normal distribution came out and I was so sad. It was just so embarrassing. The author was in no way qualified, yet the burden rests on the editors of a publication with the reputation to catch this incredible incorrect statement to come out.

I usually think woke/antiwoke complaints go too far, but that was such a failure.

Thanks. I didn’t realize how bad things were. I’m not American. Is this an example of America’s culture war I keep reading about ?

This would be an example, but far from the whole picture.
