- kzrdude 4y agoI think it didn't explain it. Well, there is this > The CDF measurement was performed over the course of many years, with the measured value hidden from the analyzers until the procedures were fully scrutinized. When we uncovered the value, it was a surprise. Which we can interpret. One way is: We were working blindly on this, so our value is not biased towards hitting a particular number.
