Frank,
There will always be "questionable" figures, no matter who makes them. I cash some nice bets just by knowing when the Beyer guys blow one. They do it often enough, usually when they inflate a figure do to an extreme fast or slow pace, but sometimes they deflate one because it just looks "too fast." This is not what I meant by an "error" though. We are talking things you can prove, like ground loss, or using faulty track charts for sprint-route relationships. Jerry has been asked here a few times that I can recall about specific figures, and he's always responded with an answer, including the reasoning behind the figure given. What more can you ask?
