No, I don't; you've got a point. It's also interesting to note that even
the Tech reporter that wrote the article is listed in the MIT Directory as
a grad student! Perhaps if we want to find out about these kinds of
things before they get published in The Tech, we should get some
undergrads to infiltrate the GSC. I'm not sure whether I'm being serious
here or not.

I think we differ on how we're interpreting the article, which I agree is
ambiguous. At any rate, now seems like a pretty good time to get ungrads
involved, even in the worst-case-scenario interpretation of the article.
