Wakfer and John de Rivaz had requested the number of CI patients who had 
signed up more than two weeks before death, and I answered 26 out of 37.

Wakfer then wrote:

First, I can't resist reprimanding Wakfer, who prides himself on exact 
language, for saying "data" when he meant "datum."

Second, he got it backward--there were more, not fewer, who were signed up 
for more than two weeks prior to death. What a horrible blunder! By a 
professor of mathematics! I'm shocked and dismayed!
