FWIW, I think common usage of “order of magnitude” means x10 (times ten), so your original was off by six orders of magnitude.

Yes, it was specifically six orders of magnitude; I called it an “order of magnitude error” (the magnitude was at error) and not “an error of an order of magnitude” (the size of the error).
