According to a research study conducted by Professor Scott R. Meier (and highlighted by Slate's Jack Shafer) only 2% of "flawed articles" are later corrected.

When asked for her opinion on the new study, a somewhat vindicated Alessandra Stanley replied, "Ha! Looks like instead of lambasting me for my litany of errors, you guys should actually be praising me for my honesty and forthrightness".

She then immediately issued a correction.
