In 2013 the APA "erroneously" referred to pedophilia as a sexual orientation

In 2013 the APA "erroneously" referred to pedophilia as a sexual orientation on page 698 of the first printing of the DSM-V. After a public outcry, the APA said it would correct the error in subsequent printings, changing the term "sexual orientation" to "sexual interest." Their public relations folks also added for good measure that the APA still considers acts of pedophilic disorder to be criminal. Okay. But ask yourself this: With all of the meticulous attention the APA applies to every controversial aspect of the DSM, and the bated breath the news media holds for any new edition, how exactly does a reference to pedophilia as a "sexual orientation" end up in there by accident?
