What happens when someone writes about something but doesn't understand what they're writing about. Writings that miss the point often include lies, half-truths, and statistics. For an example of "missing the point," see the node candyraver.

People who are "missing the point" include most IS dept. managers, zdnet writers, and the upper management at microsoft.
