I think sloppy. I've seen it in a lot of his stuff and it makes me have to check everything.

The cliffhanger in the "blink questioning" is in the original source; when they ask "Do you know who attacked you?" Yulia "became emotional" and the session ended and apparently was not resumed. (They may need a Ouija Board to do so now)

Still, her answering Yes to, "Were you sprayed?" is a pretty big deal. I'd like someone with the rigor of Hersh or Whitney Webb to get stuck into the Skripal story.
