Takeaway
  • The relative standard uncertainty fell by a factor of about 17,222 from the 1969 to the 2022 edition (2.7×10⁻⁶ → 1.6×10⁻¹⁰): the error bars narrowed that much.
  • Of 9 earlier editions with a measured value, 8 have the 2022 value outside ±1σ (the error bar) and 2 outside ±2σ (the bar doubled); the normal expectation is about 1 in 3 and 1 in 22.
  • The largest move between editions came in 1969→1973, at 3.8 times the combined standard uncertainty of the two editions (|z| = 3.8).

Note
The 1969 and 1973 editions list g/2 = 1 + aₑ; the value minus 1 is used.
