  1. "A million parts," (in a plane) "three times more than in a commercial car" is surely incorrect. Lee Iacocca famously claimed that he had taken the number of parts in a Chrysler down from 6,000 to 3,000. This is an approximation, obviously -- but it's a hundred times less than a third of a million.

  2. At 3:58: MITI: Ministry of International Trade and Industry. There's no "economy" in there, nor in the Japanese original, 通商産業省, Tsūshō-sangyō-shō, more usually Tsū-san-shō. (But your whole Asianometry series is really fine work. I wouldn't bother to mail in a correction unless you were worth it. Congratulations and thank you.)
