Bro, Nice that you want to own this but not your fault by a long shot. You reported the numbers that were reported. Are you supposed to second guess EVERY source that should be considered a solid source? I think not. Only so much you can do and you rectified upon realization.
unfortunately this is another example in a long line of examples on the unfortunate decline of this event. Sad. But true. Not the first time there has been radar gun drama at this shootout. This debacle surprises me not. Amateur hour. Not your fault.

Apology not accepted because an apology is not needed. Chit happens and this was NOT your fault. Stop being so hard on yourself. If it wasn’t for your articles, I probably wouldn’t be on this site as often as I am. Shake it off and get to the next story so I can have something to read tomorrow.

Looks like "old school" calibrations to me? I guess they just had them linked to the Wish-o-meters we all had in the dashes of our boats (pre GPS)
Your good brother..., just sets the goal higher for those looking to break the next record. Motivation: Achieving and excelling above the past high bar. See its all good!

This is a non issue. I’d be more upset about the donzi new direction taking months to come out after you wrote a story and the big new reveal from nortech that was meh.
Imagine a world where main stream media was held to the same standards.
