I am embarrassed to mention that I snipped the editorial mention of
how huge is the gap beween error brackets given for various determinations
and the raw difference in their values.
  It seems we are lucky to hit closer than 0.1 percent difference between
successive full-blown derterminations, at times.
   The gravitational constant is a tough one!
