Fuzzy numbers etc.
An article on Monday about the speedy Florida State cornerback Michael Ray Garvin misstated, in some editions, the distance that light travels in 12-hundredths of a second, or the difference between Garvin’s fastest unofficial 40-yard dash time (4.18 seconds) and the best performance by a player at this year’s N.F.L. scouting combine (4.30). In that amount of time, light would travel about 22,000 miles, not 22. Link
