When you see a claim that contains an easily recognizable error, it is good form to not be the first to comment or vote on it, thus allowing the author to retract and correct.

- 19-1 If I make a mistake in a claim or comment, it's likely that a significant fraction of the subsequent discussion on the claim will be about the error.
- 43-1 Rather than a list of the top claimants, I would rather see Jyte's top participants measured in various ways
- 14-30 When one sees that one's claim has neither votes nor comments after a few minutes, one should consider retracting it
- 67-1 One should attempt to avoid ambiguity when making a claim
- 3-50 I have voted on more than half of the claims

Such a polite concept. Thanks for the advice.
bignose gave me the idea by making a mistake in a claim (which I avoided voting on).
Claims inspired by this comment
bignose inspires others by his mistakes.I think visible edits to fix typos (even after votes are cast) should be allowed, with some kind of history function like Wikipedia has. Blatant backpedaling in high profile claims would be caught and ridiculed in other claims, however.
In the limit as the number of claims approaches infinity, the cost of any one error becomes vanishingly small.
I didn't see this claim in the similar claims list.
