   fast neutrinos and bad connections

   Recall a few years back, a physics lab in Italy reported   
   faster than light neutrino observations.  After some ado,   
   they finally diagnosed a dodgy optical interconnect.   
      
   How does that result occur?  An intermittent interface   
   would produce a broken signal, or reduced RMS power, or   
   perhaps data bit errors, if used for communication.   
      
   But how does a faulty connection result in a spuriously   
   high velocity measurement?
