So, unless someone has fucked up their readings, doesn't it show that the original equation is wrong?

The last thing they will consider is that the Lorentz transformation laws are incorrect. That would require a re-thinking of Relativity. Now there might be some other phenomena that were overlooked or some new undiscovered phenomena that influences either the speed of a photon and/or the neutrino.

But my bet tho' is on a technical glitch.
