True — but when something doesn't make sense as advocacy, one of the better bits of advice I got in university is to see if it makes sense as propaganda. Given that it's bad propaganda, too, I'm glad to see they retracted and apologized (although the heads-in-tar-sands types will take a very long time to let it go — in the comments on the article, someone mentioned that it looked like a parody of a parody of hard-line environmentalists, and I think that's about right).
