MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: Skinner claims that because of some sort of advanced copy protection, the DAT tape was impossible to copy, or even print a hard-copy from. Yet in the opening episode of this arc ("Anasazi" from season 2), we see Scully providing a hard-copy to a Navaho woman for translation (and how did Albert translate the information in the first place? Surely, even if he had to read it off a computer screen, he would have created a translation that could be copied).
FACT: Scully and Mulder use Napier's Constant (also known as Euler's Number) to gain access to locked doors using an electronic keypad at an abandoned mine. Mulder checks with Scully that Napier's Constant is in fact "27828" and she confirms that it is. However, the constant is NOT 27828, it is actually 271828 (or 2.71828...). Without the number "1" in the sequence, Scully and Mulder should not have been able to enter any of the doors.
