If materials are filed in boxes, is it possible that one number is off? I remember one packet of court papers that  according to the index were in box 394. I was positive it said “394.” It turns out the “4” was actually just a funny written “1.”

Or maybe just a mistake.

Either way it took me a while to find the correct packet. If something is not where it is “supposed” to be, consider that one little being off is all that it takes.
