Check your math.

Your original statement:

To this I replied: Check your math.
Your current statement:

I wasnt there so the math error would have to be the lab that dated it.Since you werent there either how do you know something they dont?
The error was not in the original laboratory dating. The error was in your assumption that 5,800 represents 1/10 of the background level of 58,000.
This was explained in a subsequent post.
