Still, no ones a liar for that, even if made deliberately. Why? Because -- as summer has said -- that's how he read the story and how he felt it could be summarized in the limits. His mistake is in interpretation, yet the headline is still a lie.
Sorry about that. Others often get my gender wrong too. (I don't mind so much when they assume I'm a man, but sometimes they pick up on the feminine clues and then insinuate I'm gay!)
