"Mute do to the fact" forastero? Really?

So, then, it is your assertion that:
1) environmental fluctuations can result in changes in radiometric decay rates of up to 0.5%
2) these and similar errors can "accumulate" to the point that dated objects (such as the earth) have been estimated to be 227,000 times older than they actually are (4,540,000,000/20,000 = 227,000).
Rather like: Upon my discovery that when the speedometer of my car reads 70 miles per hour I am actually traveling 70.35 mph, I am justified in concluding that I may at times have moved down the interstate at over 15 million miles per hour.
Because small errors may accumulate.
