Well, we used to say "What's a factor of 10 amongst friends?"  :-)  Really,
in the past, Astronomy was almost totally about figuring things out to
within
an order of magnitude (a factor of 10), so getting things within a factor of
two nowadays is a big improvement!  We're all just continually refining our
measurements anyway with the rare big discovery mixed in occasionally.
