Kind of weirdly hyped article. There are six books submitted. One book accounts for 80% of errors. Total errors in all six books are 5 times amount of last year.

That means that the other five books had essentially the same rate of error as the previous year. So another way to report that story would be "one math textbook publisher is really bad at copyediting, others are average."

I think it would be more appropriate to say that while one math textbook publisher is really bad at copyediting, he is very good at something else, like crossword puzzles or another skill. You know, just to build up his confidence.
