This exact same thing happened in Shutterbug years ago.  I contacted the
editor (Bob Shell) and complained to him about the error.  He told me that
they found it before printing, but the publisher decided to let it go.  I
only somewhat believed him, because this was not something hidden away in
the article, but highlighted to accompany the article.
