I know what it is, but seeing it in this context is like reading an article about the archaeology of Mount Ararat and finding the casual statement that Noah landed the Ark there.

Edit: Jesus, how could someone downvote that?

If you google "Mount Ararat Archaeology", all of the top results are about Noah and his famous Ark

The edit alone must have been worth a few up votes. Was that intentional?

I think he means that any news/documentary source needs to provide an important qualifier like "believed-to-be".
