Takeaway
  • The relative standard uncertainty fell by a factor of about 617 from the 1969 to the 2014 edition (7.5×10⁻⁶ → 1.2×10⁻⁸): the error bars narrowed that much.
  • Of 8 earlier editions with a measured value, 7 have the 2022 value outside ±1σ (the error bar) and 4 outside ±2σ (the bar doubled); the normal expectation is about 1 in 3 and 1 in 22. The 2022 value is exact.
  • The largest move between editions came in 1973→1986, at 2.8 times the combined standard uncertainty of the two editions (|z| = 2.8).
  • Exact from the 2018 edition (fixed by definition rather than measured), so its uncertainty is zero.
