Did you not read the article? Most of the post was about how the data being wrong wasn’t the big deal it’s that they shouldnt have the numbers section at all since it means no one reads it.
The fact FT messed up by automating it and not doing basic QA is a signal but it’s not the whole story. A few extra pages for nostalgia reasons, style, and a few hardcore fans is hardly a big burden on a product. But who knows. Maybe it is useless.
