That's like complaining the reporting on the weather forecast channel is so often wrong. This news broke about an hour ago and the IA is down, what witchcraft do you expect news media to practice! Nobody yet has the answers you're looking for, give it some time and log files will be audited and the reporting becomes useful :)
> or at least say how confident they are in what they know
This I can very much underwrite. Error bars or rough confidence indicators are missing far too often, also from sites reporting on e.g. benchmark values of hardware they've been testing... such professional organisations yet such basic omissions
