      I think the point of the article is not that there was one word mistakenly written, but that an entire department lied for months and never bothered to test their system, and that they felt it was normal to do so. In other words, the problem here was the human factor. Typos are going to happen no matter what you do, and if you’re not planning around them then you suck at your job.
