"We don't know how long the error stood before it was corrected."
As they should, but the important part of your post is "We don't know how long the error stood"
If you didn't know it was still running you shouldn't have been speculating that it was still running. And then there is the truly bizarre bit of your post: "others who demand a standard from anonymous posters" what does your anonymity have to do with anything? Do you think people should be questioned less because they are anonymous? And, of course, you have no idea to what I aspire... so just more empty speculation on your part. Up to your usual standards sirencall.
