GameSpot updates Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword review with a correction concerning controls

Coming from the review...

Editor's note: This review originally stated that aiming was handled through the Wii Remote's infrared sensor, which is incorrect. The review has been amended accordingly. GameSpot regrets the error.

Some people are debating just what this means for the review in general. The GameSpot reviewer didn't find the controls to be responsive, and now we've come to learn that he believed aiming was handled through IR. Does this warrant another look at controls, or d the same complaints stand?

Personally, I would think that the controls aspect should be looked at again. If the reviewer was trying to aim by pointing the Wiimote via IR sensor, I could see how that would lead to some major control issues. He would be holding the Wiimote in pointer position when not needed or intended, or even used.
