 maybe I am getting too picky in my old age. 
Even brought and bought are now acceptable as being interchangeable.

hone in
1. To move or advance toward a target or goal: The missiles honed in on the military installation.
2. To direct one's attention; focus: The lawyer honed in on the gist of the plaintiff's testimony.
