Aha. In hindsight, that does seem logical.

Please tell me this is a typo, and "dating" has not become an acceptable shortening of "data mining"

If that was the case the word "mining" would've been omitted, and it wasn't. The title reads "Dating Mining..."

DATING as short for DATa minING? A lot of data miners would welcome the new terminology.

I propose "data'n"...

damning.

I'd rather expect it to be the work of auto-correction or spell checking.

Ha! I didn't even notice the error - read it as "Data Mining" two or three times.
