 1. For _any_ error-correcting code, attempting to _correct_ errors
    reduces the code's ability to _detect_ errors.
 
-   In the HD=4 example, when we assumed 1 bit-error, if there were
-   actually 3 bit-errors, we would have assumed wrong and "corrected" to

    In practice this isn't _that_ big of a problem. 1 bit-errors are
