Paging an Editor

Slashdot linked to this cool story about an epilepsy patient who controlled Space Invaders with mental signals. It's all neat.

But one has to wonder who's editing this paper when you see two paragraphs explaining how Space Invaders works. I'll buy that there are people who don't know the game, but it would suffice to say "a game in which the player has to move his or her ship and fire lasers at the aliens marching down the screen." The article's not about the game and the author's wasting the reader's time by giving a treatise on this tangent.

Sheesh.
