I think that if they knew (somehow) in advance that the difference was only .1, they likely wouldn't have reviewed. They reviewed because, for whatever reason, there was some doubt. When they checked, turned out it was only off by .1. It's entirely possible that they could have checked, and found no error at all - it happens.
