re+handoff: correct F6's separation -- it was measured against ptcopyright

Browse Source 
The F6 page measured the sweep-to-plate separation against ptcopyright and
called it the plate. I had already established, on another page, that
ptcopyright is NOT the plate -- ptbtn00f is. Against the real plate the lead
is 83 and 165 frames, i.e. 0.138 and 0.141 of a sweep loop (2.2% apart),
against the 0.057 I published and sent to the port.

The conclusion is unchanged and stronger: with no input the glow precedes
the plate by 2.4x more than reported, and with A it still collapses to
essentially zero (-1 frame). Gating the sweep on the plate is a worse fit
than I made it sound.

Third instance of a label being the error rather than the measurement, and
this one is the same label I had already corrected elsewhere -- the
correction did not propagate to a page written after it.
