The use of such a vague and overloaded term as "anomaly" is deceptive.

The purpose of communication is to inform the audience, and rather than clarify what happened, this statement obscures the truth to the public.

The test capsule exploded. It means both SpaceX and Boeing have had test failures in the launch abort system for their respective human launch capsules. It will set back the timeline for the US to regain the ability to launch humans into space without paying for seats on the Soyuz.

Instead of discussing the event and its implications, the longest thread is now dedicated to excessive pedantry and incorrecting each other over textbook definitions of the word "anomaly".
