No, you're reading it right. For some unknown reason, 20 or more years ago,
I thought that it was some other metal completely. Don't really know why, as
I was able to recite the periodic table at the time. But, after finding out
better, I just never managed to go back and rectify the error. It may be
that I never figured out anything to put in that relative value position.

I could also point out that while I have brass, bronze, and copper on the
table, neither zinc nor tin show up.
