But predicting the future path of evolution is like predicting the stock market. You can't plan around the schedule of mutations. Who knows if these plastic munching traits are a freak mutation caused by a single cosmic ray from Orion or something that has a predictable time-line.

In some countries a gov't agency can sue a newspaper for slander. In this case, if The Star could have reasonably known about and mentioned the exemption possibility but failed to, one could have a good case against them in such countries.

However, certain news sources I've seen (that rhyme with "box") will include the obvious or easy-to-find counter arguments, but near the bottom in convoluted or sloppy language. Such a court case would then be over wording and placement, which would fill the courts with squabbling over gray areas.
