Totally wrong?

[edit]

"(In fact, these calculations have been described as "totally wrong", and the agreement of Neptune's actual position with its calculated position an "accident" [1]. However, this was due to human error, not a flaw in the law of gravity.)"

Well, the link that this cites is dead these days, and the site is Spanish, so I can't really check to see if it's just been moved. Without a working citation, it strikes me as tremendously unlikely to be true. What are the chances of someone making some 'totally wrong' calculations, and just happening to find a new planet where they expect it, in the enormously empty space that is the solar system? Further, was just one of these guys 'totally wrong', or both of them? I'm taking it out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.196.176.188 (talk) 01:21, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
