Home In On 'Hone'

I read this sentence in a recent article: 
(The newspaper’s) reporting honed in on a set of emails.... 
 
It should be ‘homed in’, of course. 
 
This probably isn’t a mistake you make. What’s interesting, though, is the misleading information you might find if you look up the correct usage of ‘honed’  and ‘homed in’.
