Headline is BEYOND misleading, Owner of Nascar has zilch to do with it, he's the owner of a CT race track. Seriously, it makes us look like jerks to twist words to that extent.
It's just discouraging to see so much of this -- and the old headline was displaying whenever it was that I opened it. Sorry if I came off as harsh/attacking, it's just a SUPER important and basic factual detail that changes the fundamental nature of the post. I came across as harsh but only because I care deeply about representing things accurately, both to help active researchers and newcomers. Skeptics especially will discount everything based on a single thing like that -- which they shouldn't, but it's the reality.
You're right they look for every possible detail that could be off. I don't think I can edit without deleting and resubmitting maybe mods can help us on that one

It's called an honest mistake. Your comment is beyond useless as I already corrected it

Haha well I don't think super-misleading headlines are a bullshit trigger, but I could have been less of a dick about it ;)
