Although the article says:

"Airlines are responsible for checked-in baggage, ..."

Isn't the ground staff who move the bags around inside the airport and load/unload
it all from planes, employed by the airport - not the airline. So blaming the
airline (who admittedly have to compensate you) rather inaccurate when it's not
their people / equipment that makes most of the errors.

True, but the airline is ultimately responsible to the passenger for
the services they contract out ..

Yes, judging by the trip reports you post from time to time to other
aviation forums, finding EDI does seem a problem for you
