Hilarious and somewhat concerning at the same time. Makes you wonder what sources you can trust for information.

The RSA aims to improve communication across a range of disciplines, which is quite a commendable purpose.

Unfortunately, when someone starts talking about a discipline outside their own sphere of knowledge, it can lead to this type of error.
