Outer Mongolia, Inner Mongolia

Maybe I'm twisted, but the following correction (subs. link) in this week's Economist gave me great joy:
The map accompanying our article on Genghis Khan's legacy (December 23rd) was inside-out. The area labelled "Outer Mongolia" was in fact Inner Mongolia, an "autonomous region" of China. Our apologies.
If I was a Mongolian, I suppose I'd be somewhat miffed. But I'm not. Heh.
