Oh the infamy!

So I would much rather forget it, but many of you no doubt remember my embarrassing little foul up (and retraction) recently. I didn't know Nature published fiction, so shoot me! :-)... Anyway, the author of the Nature article that fooled me so badly, Peter Watts, has now posted quite a nice piece about the incident on his blog. On the upside, there has recently been an uptick in subscriptions to my blog, so maybe being honest about one's mistakes earns one new readers... Now, wouldn't that be nice?
