The blogs, due to their nature, know how important it is to issue corrections. We break news faster than anyone, thus it is our responsibility to correct news just as fast. Auditing state government is a huge undertaking. Most people would understand a single mistake in those hundreds if not thousands of calculations - if the correction was transparent.
