Hi Andy, Thanks, this is great. I love having real numbers to discuss.

While there's no doubt a fair margin of error here, what I conclude from this is while it's still much too easy for new contributors to make mistakes with our current editors, there's some indication that they make fewer errors (especially serious ones) with iD than with P2. If you have time, I would love to see more numbers in the future or changeset examples that show what types of errors are most common. John
