The reporters never seem to get that a stall has nothing to do with
the engine.
Unfortunately, journalists cannot be specialists in everything, so they often
get all sorts of things wrong. Something to remember the next time you read
an article concerning a subject in which you're not a specialist yourself: the
article may be way off the mark.
