The article contains several inaccuracies, starting from the very first
sentence: it contains a purported Finnish statement, which however does not
even use Finnish punctuation (we always leave a space around a dash, and
normally use en dash, not em dash) 


Whoa -- a spaced en-dash is _British_ style, and a closed-up em-dash is
_American_ style, and The Economist is a British magazine!

Isn't The Economist the British magazine that also uses the US convention for numbers in the billions and trillions?
