It is not about picking on trivial points, far from it.
It is about all those self appointed astronauts who just can't/won't understand how a experienced crew could put in a 2 for a 3 and not detect it. In their contribution they then make similar typos, like nuatical .... or assumptions. To me it was clear that 330kgs meant 330'000kgs, but I would never generously round down even a widebody by 999kgs, so it is basically a error.

Picking-up such typos is just what some discussions are about. I simply hate the kind of contribution like ".. they should really have picked it up. I fly 20 different types of boeingbusses, but I can smell a wrong Vspeed just by my professionalism .." - implementing this could never happen to them and the MEL crew was just a screw-up.

That was my sarcastic drift, now back to serious theories ....
