The "1^720" - as I recall – was a term used by long gone Freeper gore3000. It was obviously an error on his part but the “evo” side of the debate quoted it without mercy to ridicule everyone else on the crevo threads.

The lack of mercy was due to the unwillingness of the poster to admit errors. Everyone makes typos. Some people make errors of meaning, such as asserting that a circle is not an ellipse, and then refuse to admit the error. Some people have even been known to incorrectly attribute quotations and refuse for weeks at a time to admit that the attribution is false.
