To use your Rolex analogy, if someone paid $600 for a watch for your Christmas present, and then after you unwrap it, your friend discovers that he was decieved about the item's authenticity, do you then get mad at your friend for buying you a fake Rolex?
No I would be mad at the seller.

And I believe the French agency who sold the photo knew it wasn't really of the US bombing, but presented it as such, and therefore the NYT bought a fake.
Although I accept the NYT may have been innocent, they printed a fake photo.

I just don't see how the French agency could have innocently made such a mistake.
