Incidentally, this was the article I originally read which said that the rice in Cuba had come from Vietnam. I half-remembered it, then in casual comments on JD's blog just remembered "east Asia" and called it "China."

However, I had no actual numbers - but hey, it was a comment on a blog post, not a proper article. Nonetheless, I was wrong.

I didn't, however, "mak[e] up "facts"." I just got an inaccurate source (most of Cuba's rice is coming from the US), half-remembered it, and screwed it up.

I'm hardly unique in that :)

It's not a biggie, Kiashu, and I won't mention it again. I like your writing a lot, and I'm just giving you a friendly jolt to make sure you diligently cite your sources. :-)
