Which surely can only read as more than one blackout of a millisecond in duration?

We are getting all technical now,is not google a wonderful thing after the event

I probably won't do much about it but it was nice to know that there are still some competent people on here not buried among the "experts" too deeply.

The fact that you are using google says a lot, and is difficult to read without linewraping

I read it as a blackout measured in milliseconds from the start, perhaps because the concept of anybody noticing a one millisecond blackout was so ridiculous.
