Re: Mistake in article?

No, it's the closer range in the thing the article was quoting. I think the point is that they're after a lower bound for the amount of energy in the event, not an upper bound, perhaps because this will help say that extragalactic FRBs must involve at least a given amount of energy? Not sure, but the article is definitely quoting the source correctly.
