Correction -- I think.

Maybe.

Hindsight being what it is:

In my post from 6 February, the words "less than one-hundredth of one percentage point" should probably have read "less than one-tenth of one percentage point".

That is, unless I am confused, which probably, I am.

Reporter + math = disaster. That's the only equation I *really* understand.

I'm blaming lack of sleep, at the time, because it's convenient.

But you get the idea. At the time it was basically me doing the calculations and just figuring out there were super-tight margins. *How* tight remains an open question for people who can actually do the math. I may be off by a factor of ten, but that the margins are extremely tight I don't think is seriously in question.

Then again, I'm not a statistician, and am probably misusing the term "margin".

Please -- anyone who knows better -- correct me.
