I'm a writer, occasionally, so I tend to think too much about the exact meaning of German words in general. I don't like it when the media just translates things literally even when they look odd in German, as with the red lines ("macht Sinn" is a more common example, widely in use only through sloppy translations).
But even the Spiegel and the FAZ do it, so it's absolutely okay for the site and its purpose. "If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles." Sun Tzu
