DrugS, I wouldn't have minded it as much if they, like you, had figured it out BEFORE the horse ran again. I'm just extremely wary of using new data to backfit previous results. (a la dosage)

If the figure was wrong, why wait a month to correct it? If the figure was shaky to start with, then create some mechanism to denote that it's shaky. I suggest the asterisk.
