I don't know if its an editing error, or if they actually saw those numbers and thought nothing of it, but for Zipp to have a rather old article on their website indicates few call them on it - or I still have no idea what they are saying.
i'm not commenting on the validity (you are reading Triathlete magazine)--just saying that your interpretation of the data on that chart is correct. but you knew that because it is in the text as well.

ask josh poertner about what they saw. i bet he'd reply.
