Rotten Tomatoes didn\u2019t think much of \u201cThe Da Vinci Code,\u201d the 2006 film<\/a> adapted from Dan Brown\u2019s best-selling novel of the same name. The movie only rated 25 percent on the Tomatometer; the Critics Consensus called it \u201cdull and bloated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

I can\u2019t argue that it belongs in any top-100 list of great movies. But I found it immensely watchable \u2014 and still click on it when I can\u2019t sleep or am on an especially long flight. Sometimes the easy diversion of dull and bloated is just the comfort I need \u2014 like a grilled-cheese sandwich and tomato soup on a tired Friday evening. I also owe the movie a writing\/editing insight that I continue to draw on all these years later, and that brings me to a red-faced admission of a fact error made in last week\u2019s newsletter.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

I\u2019ll get to the latter in a moment. First, a scene from the movie that introduced me to the term \u201cscotoma.\u201d<\/a> American historian and symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) was on the run with French police cryptographer Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou) to solve a murder \u2014 and perhaps the mystery of the Holy Grail. They take temporary refuge with historian Sir Leagh Teabing (Sir Ian McKellen), who is obsessed with his own theories about the Grail. To make his case, Teabing has Neveu look at a projection of Da Vinci\u2019s fresco, \u201cThe Last Supper,\u201d then close her eyes and tell him what she saw. She says Christ and the apostles were drinking wine, and that there was one cup \u2014 the chalice that many believe to be the Holy Grail \u2014 on the table in front of Christ. Teabing then has her open her eyes and, voila!<\/em>, no cup.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

Not gripped yet? Then you may have missed the moment in the clip I link to above when Teabing mentions that Neveu\u2019s closed-eye view was based on \u201cscotoma\u201d<\/a> or, as he says: \u201cThe mind sees what it chooses to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

The word was new to me, so I looked it up. It refers to a blind spot in the eye that can obscure or blur vision. If I understand it correctly, in some cases the brain can infer enough data to fill in the obscured area but precision is lost in the process.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

Blind spots when writing or editing<\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

What stuck with me from the movie was not the physiological definition of scotoma as much as a metaphorical one that applies to journalism. Consider again Teabing\u2019s line: \u201cThe mind sees what it chooses to.\u201d Then think of the times you have made baffling mistakes in copy. Maybe you misspelled a name or subbed the wrong name altogether. Or you knew the city council voted for a new ordinance, but you wrote that they voted against. Or your fingers typed one number when your brain knew it was a different one. The editor reading behind you \u2014 if there is one \u2014 either doesn\u2019t know you got it wrong, or also sees it wrong.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

This happened in a stark way when a newspaper I worked for published a story that included a reference to the three million Jews killed in the Holocaust. The story was written by a veteran reporter and went through at least four editors. Yet somehow the known fact of six million became three million \u2014 perhaps because all those fine journalists knew<\/em> the right number so read that into the copy.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

Or as my adaptation of Teabing\u2019s line goes: The eye sees what the mind wants it to.<\/em><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

My eye does that more often than I care to admit. Small typos or duplicate words linger in copy that I\u2019ve proofread multiple types. \u201cIt\u2019s\u201d is too often typed when I meant \u201cits.\u201d A letter is dropped from the proper spelling of someone\u2019s name; I see the name in my mind as I know it is spelled \u2014 then see it the same on the screen.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

Errors have many causes, of course, from poor sourcing to inadequate fact-checking to working too fast to making assumptions. But many are from mental scotoma \u2014 or what a former colleague simply calls \u201cbrain farts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

It happens. And when it does, in ways big or small, it hurts.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n

Corrections and apologies<\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

It happened to me recently when I edited Chip Scanlan\u2019s Storyboard annotation of John Branch\u2019s New York Times story \u201cGhosts on the Glacier.\u201d<\/a> I referred to Aconcagua, the mountain in Argentina that centered Branch\u2019s story, as the second-highest peak in the world. I was soon corrected by a few Storyboard readers \u2014 for which I\u2019m grateful and, as mentioned above, red-faced. I\u2019ve hunted through all variations of the drafts I edited; the only thing that comes close is a reference to Aconcagua as the tallest mountain in the Western Hemisphere and the second tallest of the Seven Summits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

I\u2019ve corrected the post on the Storyboard site. I apparently can\u2019t correct MailChimp once it\u2019s sent, so the February 9 newsletter carries the error forward. Gah!<\/em> All I can do is acknowledge the error here, with apologies to Branch, Scanlan and Storyboard readers.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

This rises nowhere near the top of errors that can creep into our work. Most people probably read right over my goof or weren\u2019t interested enough in the geological details of Aconcagua to care.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n \n

But that\u2019s not the point: The point is to acknowledge errors when we do make them \u2014 and we make them more and more often as we work faster, with fewer resources, across multiple platforms and as newsrooms lose the layers of crackerjack copy editors we once took for granted. Editing and proofing yourself is always fraught with slippage or, as I see it, an invitation to scotoma.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
