You may not buy it but it's absolutely true. I spent a few years doing CMS support and site development for one of the largest newspaper conglomerates in North America and based on the design of our in-house CMS it wasn't even possible to edit a piece of content from the page it was displayed on. The really bizarre part was, all the journalists and editors where totally fine with that. Their biggest concerns where making sure the content published to the right section and making sure it also got pushed to the back end system used by the pressmen.

I think journalists publihing articles has a too narrow use case to make a conclusion for all non tech users out there.
