Y’know, I went and looked at the current Wikipedia page for the Cavendish experiment. There’s apparently more nuance than my simple outline offers, particularly as G wasn’t treated as an isolated quantity till decades after his experiment.

There is less description than I would like, but I am happy to have been made aware of the discrepancy at all.
