everybody is given a gray T shirt that reads MAKE WHAT PEOPLE WANT

What they really say is Make something people want. It's interesting that, whenever I have inside knowledge about an article's subject, I always seem to catch little mistakes like this. And it makes me wonder, how many other details do they get wrong?

It's a tired but true cliché: don't believe everything you read. (That being said, this article is basically right---as far as I can tell.)

Indeed. I've been in the newspaper a few times, and every time there was some glaringly wrong detail.

I've not been in the paper myself, but many of my friends have, and the first thing they always point out is how badly the paper misquoted them.

I always expected the things I read in quotation marks to be quotations, and it was surprising to find out that's rarely the case. A journalist's idea of quotation is actually to take the gist of what you said, put it in new words, and then put it back in your mouth.
