"If one put on a philosophical debate or a squabble on the subject of semantics about media reports vis-à-vis asteroid 2002 NT7, i.e. whether some headlines were appropriately worded, such bickering could go on forever. That is because in the case of NT7, the media got the basic astronomical information right. While the wording may have been awkward, the basic facts were certainly correct. Unfortunately, this cannot be said about yesterday's media reports about 2002 NY40."
