QUESTION 22*

Back in 1870, a German chemist, examined the amount of Y within X,

among many other green vegetables. In recording his findings, he

accidentally misplaced a decimal point when transcribing data from

his notebook, changing the Y content in X by an order of magnitude.

While there are actually only 3.5 milligrams of Y in a 100-gram serving

of X, the accepted fact became 35 milligrams.

This error was eventually corrected in 1937, when someone

rechecked the numbers. But the damage had already been done.

title.
