Sure but I could imagine some kind of software failure caused by trying to divide by a distance that rounded two zero because the same location was listed in two databases that were almost but not exactly the same location. In fact I did when I first read the headline, then realized that it was probably nautical miles.

That would be roughly consistent with the title and not a totally absurd thing to happen in the world.

This is exactly what I thought q when I first read the title.
