TIL a weird dimension call on a foundation plan cost me three hours

I was cleaning up a set of old foundation drawings from a 1980s house in Tacoma. The original drafter had a note for a 3/4" offset on a footing, but the actual dimension line pointed to a different spot. I kept trying to make the math work with the other walls. After checking the site plan and the sections, I finally saw it was just a misplaced leader line from a scan. Has anyone else had a simple mark-up error eat up a morning?

Was it an old blueprint scan that got misaligned when they digitized it?

It's crazy how tiny mistakes can mess up your whole day.
