The actual language in the story conveys the reporter's _lack_of_knowledge_

The story _is_ lacking in 'depth', as far as "how" the screw-up came to
pass -- _why_ did the 2nd crew get sent? _what_ were they told? etc.,
etc.

However, what _is_ there, looks to be an *accurate* description of the
facts of the occurrence. Far higher quality reportage than is the norm in
the U.S., today. wry grin


If one peruses the other stories on that web site, the content is
similarly concise, lacking in detail in a manner similar to the oak
story.
