What do you do when you find a glaring discrepancy like this.  Do you write about it, ignore it or do something else?  Have you contacted Horticulture?

I get many of newsletters and scan most of them. I'm looking for 
fodder for my column and other projects. More and more I question the 
accuracy. An article on clay busting in the Horticulture Magazine 
newsletter suggested using Lime as a clay buster. I think they meant 
Gypsum, which does not work on Michigan clay.  My clay tests out at 
7.5 so blindly adding lime would disastrous. Nothing was said about 
soil testing before using lime or suggestions as to figure out how 
much. Just a note that acid loving plants won't like it. I e-mailed 
them twice,  but they never responded.
