Too limited[edit]

The article is limited to data entry issues. Transcription errors occur whenever data is copied, including replication of DNA; n fact such errors are a cause of mutation. While data entry can include transcription errors, not all transcription errors are included within the field of data entry. -- 70.51.164.126 (talk) 15:22, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Better definition of this type of error needed[edit]

The article says that transposition errors are not transcription errors, but from the information provided I'm having a tough time understanding why that is. —Scorchgeek (talk) 16:17, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
