My favorite Mark Twain quote (and one of my favorite quotes from anyone-- and
painfully accurate for anyone who loves reading or who has tried writing):

"The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the
difference between the lightning and the lightning-bug,"

Looks like those guys are honestly trying for the right word-- but always just
miss it. (Not to mention the twisted "facts").
