A joke that every warship could be called a battleship because it goes into battle raises the risk of loose terminology being reused as authority. Automated article generators can collect plausible-looking material without understanding its context or technical meaning. A remembered newspaper headline provides a separate example: it treated a five-inch naval gun as though the weapon were only five inches long. That error confuses calibre with length, and its publication also raises questions about editorial checking.
