So I had a look into the paper, because I was curious how they would differentiate typos from bitflips ... turns out they don't. Bummer. There's only some assumptions made here and there without any further explanation. It could even be the result of bad OCR or whatever weird stuff people do on the internet ...
I am not questioning the result and also believe it's most likely bitflips in a lot (most?) cases, but I would have really loved some more insight in that domain ... pun intended.
