OK, I can accept your interpretation. I definitely agree that the context is probably totally different than appears in the article--that's just _sensationalistic_ journalism. Which, as userfriendly today so nicely illustrated, is the norm for journalism today.

I don't really agree with your interpretation of the quote.
