As you can see by the folded-over pages, the article and subsequent pages appear twice within the magazine.  At first, I thought I was crazy.  Then, I thought maybe it was some sort of viral thing about the Crazy About Testing conference they’re hawking.  Then, I realized, it was probably a problem at the print shop, that the pages were laid out on duplicate plates.
