“One likely explanation” is not an actual likelihood; that’s someone saying it’s likely.

Odds are still far greater that it was software error.

Edit: This is the source of the 'likelihood' quote. It says the code in the Belgian election system was so bad there was no point in trying to improve or reuse it. The review of the code process is not at all clear, and these were 486 machines in use in 2003. Cosmic ray is a massive stretch.
