Harper’s Bazaar 50% Wrong

November 6, 2015 SizeOfBelgium Leave a comment

Harper’s Bazaar wrote a piece reviewing the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. Nothing wrong with that, except the article claims that the park is “roughly the size of Belgium”.

This is a rather loose usage of the word “roughly”. In fact the park is only the size of East Timor, and less than half the size of Belgium.
