Any "error" that represents less than a 5% difference to an "official" source of data is not an "error" as far as I'm concerned - it is within the accepted range of figures that our data point represents.


The counter to that would be pointing out the significance of the 5%.

Weekly sales? 5% of 100,000 to 300,000 units is nothing worth spilling milk over. Lifetime sales? 5% of 80 Million is a totally different prospect. Surely there has to be leway when the numbers are so large and the evidence is in front of you.

Edit - kow beat me to it.
