It implies no such thing ... and an inference is drawn. So you're wrong on both counts.

It implies no such thing

I disagree. If weren't trying to make it a big issue, why wouldn't you just say what it was?

as I never once said (or inferred) that it was a "significant error" but merely an error

and an inference is drawn. So you're wrong on both counts.

You can't infer anything from your own comments, you can only imply. When you go and pick up an economics textbook, get a grammar textbook too.
