Correct. These new tests produced abnormally large results. If these results were true, then this would be front-page news. But the results are faulty. So the actual radiation is ... the same as what we thought before these new tests were conducted.

It's confusing because, once you understand it, you ask why they wrote a story about it.

Oh now I see. I thought they forgot to divide by 10 in the old results. But the story is that they did new measurements which were too large because they screwed up. So the story is that nothing's changed. Yeah, I agree with you...

I think it's called fan service, though at this point it's almost indistinguishable from picking on the retarded kid.
