Chewwy, this is precisely why I hated moonlighting as a copy editor on a local rag. Not just dodgy maths but various kinds of bleeding obvious mistakes were rife, but whenever I tried to point them out politely, the answer was always "well it was like that in the press release" or similar, as if that justified reprinting outrageously incorrect medical advice, etc.
I was told to stick to editing the language. Of course Piss used to enjoy himself by humiliating the author, and actually his approach usually worked better. Or at least it made us feel better.
