The Scan That Opened This Thread
Returning to the scan that opened this thread ... which was from the magazine, Sports Cars Illustrated. The caption under the Disco photo was in error then, and is still in error now. Not unlike a lot of errors in print that have been accepted as some kind of truth.
For books and magazines, it is important to remember that the people who do layouts often know absolutely nothing about the material they are working on. They are often "art" people who are into the graphics rather than the content. When deadlines loom, they are sometimes the last buffer that separates the authors and editors from the product, and they don't always know enough to get it right, even if the authors and editors might have. And it is certainly rare that these "art people" might know enough to correct mistakes.
