Polgar's repeated misuse of the phrase "conflict of interest", then
arguing about it after the misuse has been pointed out, is surprising.

I would give her a break on the first part of this one. She is a non-
native speaker, and I have even seen journalists confuse the
distinction between may be biased as opposed to having a conflict of
interest. She should, however, acknowledge that she made the wrong
choice of words.
