How many years can a tiny unbalanced parenthesis go unnoticed on a widely accessed Internet document, older than the World Wide Web itself ?
Abstract
We conducted an investigation to find when a mistake was introduced in a widely accessed Internet document, namely the RFC index. With great surprise, we discovered that a it may go unnoticed for a very long period, namely more that twenty-six years. This raises some questions to what does it mean to have open access and the meaning of Linus' laws that "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow"
