Takeaway
  • The relative standard uncertainty fell by a factor of about 75 from the 1969 to the 2014 edition (4.3×10⁻⁵ → 5.7×10⁻⁷): the error bars narrowed that much.
  • All 8 earlier editions with a measured value contain the 2022 value within ±1σ (the error bar). The 2022 value is exact.
  • The largest move between editions came in 1986→1998, at 0.6 times the combined standard uncertainty of the two editions (|z| = 0.6).
  • Exact from the 2018 edition (fixed by definition rather than measured), so its uncertainty is zero.
