Journalists have basically been copy editing hundreds of these goddamn government circulars

That's why there are clarifications. Coz we been copy editing them. Pointing out problems with their facts, logic, argument and feasibility.

There's an opportunity cost to this copy editing >> which impacts our reporting >> which impacts how quickly you as a reader get the news you should.

Time spent copy editing and making sense of gov nonsense is time lost reporting on what could have been important

How incompetent is the Indian Administrative Service?
How incompetent that one circular cannot be drafted decently?

On scale of 1 to 10, how incompetent?!!

We have spent a lot of time in this pandemic working backwards to figure out this government.

Rubbish. https://twitter.com/sahajrathi/status/1265175154440601600?s=19
