          So, people can make mistakes as lon as they take steps to make sure those mistakes don’t happen again? Trying to make sure we all understand the rules here.

          Of course I do. That mitigates the irony slightly. It's still a cheap shot, considering that hoaxes (usually driven by confirmation bias) have happened at a lot of high-prestige publications.

          It's true that I've failed to invent a time machine that would allow me to go back and 1) kill Hitler baby 2) prevent Marty Peretz from taking over TNR. Mea culpa.

          When you are defending yourself after terrible news cycles and social media backlash, context isn't your friend.
