Clearly, Hari would need to do better and in today's Independent . But Hari has blundered again. Instead of an unqualified apology, which is surely what the situation calls for, he has repeated the defense he made in his blog and only towards the end acknowledges that he may, conceivably, have done something wrong: "It was clearly not plagiarism or churnalism - but was it an error in another way? Yes. I now see it was wrong, and I wouldn't do it again."
