The idea that radio waves are light waves is something I learned from Bill Nye in elementary school, and that was repeated to me throughout my education and was definitely on at least one of the tests I took.
So either Ars is hiring people with very strange educational experiences or they done goofed
No one ever told me this, I learned it myself (together with the fact that "speed of light" is a fucking stupid name), so your mileage may vary.
