Takeaway
  • The relative standard uncertainty fell by a factor of about 756 from the 1973 to the 2022 edition (2.7×10⁻⁴ → 3.5×10⁻⁷): the error bars narrowed that much.
  • Of 8 earlier editions with a measured value, 2 have the 2022 value outside ±1σ (the error bar) and 1 outside ±2σ (the bar doubled); the normal expectation is about 1 in 3 and 1 in 22.
  • The largest move between editions came in 1998→2002, at 4.3 times the combined standard uncertainty of the two editions (|z| = 4.3).

Note
The 1973 edition lists g/2 = 1 + a_μ; the value minus 1 is used.
