Actually, there is a glaring vocabulary error in the article.
The author writes how the kilt "dissects" Mr. Coviello's body into "unflattering sections".
According to dictionary.com, the definition of "dissect" is:
dis·sect ( P ) Pronunciation Key (d-skt, d-, dskt)
tr.v. dis·sect·ed, dis·sect·ing, dis·sects
1. To cut apart or separate (tissue), especially for anatomical study.
2. To examine, analyze, or criticize in minute detail: dissected the plan afterward to learn why it had failed.
I do believe the author meant "bisect".
Both he and the editor should be flogged by the EiC for this error.
