marks a near quantum leap

Not even a whole quantum leap?
They should know that a quantum leap is an infinitesimally small leap.
Like if the old one did 500 km and the new one did 500.0000000000000001 km. (12 zeroes for picometer, and an extra 3 because it's km)
A quantum leap is when an electron of an atom changes energy state, that is a leap that is in the picometer (pm) range, that is a number with 12 zeroes after the decimal point, before you actually get to a number with any actual value.

Just saying to help other people not look stupid.
