I imagine the author did as most people do; Googled, glanced at the first thing that bolstered his argument that looked reasonably authoritative and then copy pasted it. The usual combination of intellectual laziness and confirmation bias. It happens to us all but you'd think journalists would be a bit more careful.…

Folks have a real penchant for playing fast and loose with statistics and language. 

“Estimates of the frequency of intersex births range from 0.018% to as high as 1.7%" is information. ”Being intersex is as common as having red hair" is misinformation. Taking the highest data point out of a range and only presenting that, along with an easy to comprehend comparison, is like taking a quote out of…

What is “surprising frequency”?

That rate for the frequency of intersex births is highly disputed:

The “red hair” argument is a total fallacy. It was essentially one research group deciding what “ideal” sex characteristics look like and defining anyone that fell outside of those ideals as having intersex characteristics. It’s been irresponsibly repeated by people that didn’t want to actually read the study for…

You should do a little research on his “sources”, Cosmo is hardly a medical journal. The condition he describes has been recorded less than 300 times in medical journals ever.

Gods, don’t make a ludicrously big deal out of a throwaway internet comment.

The hackers didn’t do the repair work. That was done by a company that specializes in repairing trains. The hackers just removed the code that was artificially blocking the train from working after the actual physical repair.

Why not, HP already bricks their multifunction printers so if you run low on ink you can’t use the scanner either.

Next up, bricking your car because you didn’t pay the newly demanded rent on the wheel lugs.

Poland isn’t a nation who uses horse cavallry in an age of mechanized armies anymore - I would think they have the capacity, knowledge and means to maintain their trains in a safe manner.

Know what else is bizarre?  Seeing someone talk about GT3 race cars and twist it into stock production cars.

A wreck like that hasn’t happened since the 90s? In NASCAR, we call it a blowover and it has happened once a year with every generation of car. 

That last line isn't the main takeaway, it's cowardice. Headline, thesis, and body of the whole article are arguing against speedway racing altogether. 

NASCAR will just keep racing these cars that have nothing to do with the showroom with huge pushrod V8s that aren’t remotely relevant in today’s vehicles.

I’m not even a Nascar fan, I prefer Indycar, and watch F1 and IMSA/WEC when I can. But how would turning Nascar into a GT3 Road Racing series make any sense? 

Absolutely the wrong take-away. Nobody is suggesting the 90s wrecks that Allison, Earnhardt, and others (Ernie Irvan, for example) survived weren’t lucky breaks — that’s why the safety has become such an important aspect of the engineering of these cars AND TRACKS ... but I suspect Elizabeth knows this.

This stinks of…

Or they cancelled it for her.  Because you can do that.

It’s sad but not surprising how badly some of you want utter ruin for this woman. I’ve seen calls for her imprisonment and even death. But even losing her job, over THIS? You want vengeance, not justice.
