I dont think you did anything wrong. So while it wasn't on average 13.8C, even a specific area of 13.8C was still an order of magnitude wrong and clearly a typo.

And something that is so wrong, being repeated on HN, should be called out. So your Data and Facts may not be exact, your motive, intuition wasn't wrong though. You should always question what you are reading.

And even on technical subject this happens a lot. I had to spend 3 months on HN correcting what the public media called Apple's "Unified Memory" as if it was memory on Die. It is not, it was simple LPDDR Memory on same package. Or AirPod sold at BOM cost, Apple invented USB-C, AV1 being completely patent free. True 5G is all about mmWave etc.

Although my opinion of banning BBC for 2 years is a little too hash for a typo. It happens, and in fact in the modern era it happens more often than you can imagine. BBC is still far better news source than 99.9999999% of the Internet.
