No, anomaly means there was an outcome which was not expected. It says nothing about how many tests they were going to execute (if any), what the unexpected outcome was, or what the lead test engineer ate for breakfast that morning.
- usrusr 7y agoThat's the dictionary definition of "anomaly". But that's not the interesting part, what's tickling us armchair detectives is how it got into the press release: "anomaly" is a bit of an anomaly itself, most people would never use that term unless specifically to play something down. That surely is no proof, enough to inspire speculation.
