Takeaway
- The relative standard uncertainty fell by a factor of about 102 from the 1973 to the 2022 edition (2.3×10⁻⁶ → 2.2×10⁻⁸): the error bars narrowed that much.
- Of 8 earlier editions with a measured value, 1 has 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 2.2 times the combined standard uncertainty of the two editions (|z| = 2.2).
