"The graph as well as other important points are simply wrong: The time 
at 90° amplitude is 18% larger than T0 and not 7.3% as shown in the 
plot. Then, the author plots the integrand instead of the integral. 
Furthermore, he calculates sin(th0)/2 instead of sin(th0/2). Means, this 
page is seriously flawed!"
