Gotcha. And quoted directly from that page:
"Product Description Specifications: Edge straightness .0002" per foot."

That's point zero zero ZERO two. Two ten-thousandths per foot. Not two
thousandths. The short answer to your initial question "Is my data correct?"
is "No."

The long answer is that the $54 Starrett is within four ten-thousandths across
two feet, and the $37 Lee Valley is within ten ten-thousandths. Sounds to me
like the Starrett is the better deal, and by a long way: the LV tool is more
than two-thirds the price of the Starret, but only forty percent as accurate.
