384384 In the HD=4 example, we assumed 1 bit-error. If we were wrong and
385385 there were actually 3 bit-errors, we would have "corrected" to the
386386 wrong codeword.

388- In practice this isn't _ that _ big of a problem. 1 bit-errors are
389- usually much more common than 3 bit-errors, and at 4 bit-errors you're
390- going to have a collision anyways.
