A correction in today's Times, rectifying a shitty mistake:

Because of an editing error, an article on Oct. 27 about the fruit of the threatened Moroccan argan tree, used to produce an oil for gourmet cooking and cosmetics, omitted a complete explanation of how exported Argan oil is produced. While some Moroccans make oil from argan pits that have been excreted by grazing goats, none of those pits are used to make the oil that is exported. Because of that error, the article also carried a misleading headline. While goats do climb Argan trees to eat the fruit, they are not "doing their bit for gourmands.

Remarkably, Alessandra Stanley had nothing to do with the initial article.
