Yeah. They explained several times that the data fudging involved sneakily adding a constant (10^32) to the real number (10^-26) to make it come out to what they wanted (10^6). It seems like there would be better (and less obvious) ways to fudge your data, and just using the word "multiply" instead would have made the math right.
