Yeah, its confusing wording 1 error in 250,000 is allowed. 2 errors in 250,000 is NOT allowed. 2 in 250,000 is the .0008% that keeps being thrown around.

So when the error rate hits .0008% is it beyond the allowable error rate.

no, when it hits 1 in 249.999 it's beyond allowable error rate

1 in 250,000 is within the acceptable error rate. That is .004%. 1 divided by 250000 = .000004 X 100 = .0004%

2 in 250,000 is .008%, which, as I'm rereading this thing, might be the upward limit of acceptable. So 2 in 250k is ok, but any more than that is unacceptable.

In either case. A very small number.

when you have 1 in 249.999 you're already over the limit.

You know, I can't even find the actual guideline they are referencing. So either they are wrong in the tweet about the 1 in 250k, or they are wrong about the percent of .0008%.

Whatever. It's a very small number in either case.
