The fact that someone who _does_ know what they're talking about will
come along and correct it (you did correct that article you saw,
right?). Which is another way of saying 'nothing', but I don't think it
matters very much. After all, nothing prevents people who have no idea
what they're talking about from contributing to this mailing list,
either, but that doesn't mean we don't learn stuff from it (or at least,
I do).

      muted hostility on the part of the candidate would 
      justify any kind of drastic retaliation by a professional
      journalist - and certainly nothing so drastic as to
      cause the Democratic front-runner to cut short a major
      speech because some dangerous freak was clawing at his
      legs and screaming for more gin."
