minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•11 months agoA strange turn of phrase in the headline. Consider… “A derailment due to interference by authorised persons”.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish8•11 months agoIt’s a relevant distinction. Interference by unauthorized person’s = outsider threat. Other possibilities could be intentional malicious actions by authorized people (insider threat), or a mistake by authorized people (human error, incompetence, negligence, …)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•11 months agoRight on. It’s just that I’d have expected those synonyms to have been used in the headline. Though thinking about it some more: maybe the vagueness is actually more correct if it’s unknown if the interference was deliberate. I suppose it’s a small mercy that the headline wasn’t “unauthorised interference on Russian railway, you’ll never guess how many cars detailed”.
