Probably "one bad apple", soon to be fired, tarred and feathered...

  If Kyle Orland is about to be fingered as "one bad apple" that is pretty bad news for Ars.

    There are apparently two authors on the byline and it’s not hard to imagine that one may be more culpable than the other. You may be fine with damning one or the other before all the facts are known, zahlman, but not all of us are.

      I don't read their comment as implying this. It might in fact hint at the opposite; it's far more likely for the less senior author to get thrown under the bus, regardless of who was lazy.

      That's why I said "if".

  Scapegoats are scapegoats but in every organization the problems are ultimately caused by their leaders. It's what they request or what they fail to request and what they lack to control.
