Surprising claim of superstringy universe may be based on a mistake
Mix-up in distance scales may explain hints of anisotropy in distribution of galaxies.

It's good that 'Science' magazine caught up and that Sylos Labini has acknowledged the error :).
However, the 'Science' text omits the fact that the #little_h error (a factor of about 1.4) counts for a lot more of the error (in this particular analysis) than the comoving-vs-luminosity-distance error (a factor of about 1.08 in the centre of the Sloan Great Wall).
