    Sophistical is right, given their confusion of `astronomical' and
    `astrological', but it's not what I thought I'd typed, which was
    `sophisticated'; my spellchecker must have got the bit between its teeth
    while my gaze was averted. Maybe the same thing happened to poor Mary
    Kostakidis's news prompter text...
