that's interesting -- my book is wrong then because I included the "myth"
(as an example of why all values must be checked and flagged for later
evaluation). I got the story from the New York Times Science section,
which is usually pretty reliable. According to the New York Times story,
the data had been thrown out by the computer for 6 years (not the one
year in the reply) until a NASA researcher found it. Oh well, it makes
one sceptical of virtually everything one sees on the net or even printed
in legitimate sources. Sigh.
I'll change in it in the next printing of my book :-).
