“Der er altså tale om en slags ”Fejl 40", hvor fejlen ikke sidder i maskinen eller i tallene selv, men ca. 40 cm.^([sic]) foran skærmen – og altså hos den, der betjener maskinen og fortolker dens output.”

Thus, it is a sort of ”Error 40", where the error is not in the machine or in the numbers themselves, but approximately 40 cm in front of the screen – that is, with the person using the machine and interpreting its output.
