Do you know of anything else missing? If it was a "code" error, like in a Drupal site or something it would likely delete other stuff. Most U.S. government websites are modernized during the Obama administration or newer. This stuff doesn't happen due to code.

The text/tweet/whatever really feels just like made up words to convince non technically literate people it was a mistake.

It did delete more than the lines that most of the news articles mention. When I looked at the diff, the missing text seemed so arbitrary and wide in scope that a technical error was completely plausible. It made the news articles seem totally sensationalized.

Oh yeah I saw. Really feels like someone just looked at a paragraph and selected until the editor wouldn't let them anymore.
