For example, the lifetime of a neutron has been;

918±14 (1972)

877±8 (1978)

881±8 (1982)

898±16 (1984)

896±10 (1986)

891±9 (1988)

887.6±3 (1989)

889.1±2.1 (1992)

887±2 (1995)

And, with each change comes adjustments to predicted abundances.


Also, the improvement in proper handling of errors and correllations between the abundances has greatly reduced theoretic errors.
