Tulagi - a big danger for writers is thinking they know something - maybe something they heard years before that they've taken for granted ever since. They pop it into a novel and - bingo - someone takes great delight in pointing out their error in a review. At least yours was spotted before it was too late. Ian Fleming made that sort of mistake, I think about a type of hand-gun; when an expert wrote to him pointing out the error, he recruited him for advice for his later books.
