Things I Learned from Amazon.com: Martin Caidin's Secret Identity

[beamjockey]

According to http://www.amazon.com/Star-Bright-Martin-Caidin/dp/0553126210, famed author Martin Caidin, who wrote the novels Marooned (which led to the eponymous movie) and Cyborg (thus engendering The Six Million Dollar Man and all his bionic kin), turns out to be a pseudonym for Vanessa Williams, singer and actress. Is there no end to her talents?

Imagine how tough it must be to come up with stuff that's stupider than journalists do habitually.

While your observation is valid, I don't think any journalist is to blame for this particular revelation.

One imagine that Amazon has measures in place to prevent this kind of error; apparently, their defenses are imperfect.

I perhaps have a broader definition of the term "journalist" than most.
