“Person of the Year” Nomination for Higgs Boson Riddled with Errors

Scientific American points out, Time's “Person of the Year” Nomination for Higgs Boson Riddled with Errors "Under ordinary circumstances, we would be all for the elevation of the Higgs to ‘Person of the Year’ status, if only to further honor the heroic efforts of thousands of scientists and engineers who made the discovery possible (more on that below). But Time’s nomination threatens to do more harm than good. Every single sentence in Time’s nomination contains at least one serious error. The magazine scores a perfect five for five."
