Toe setting wrong in manual?

Toe setting wrong in manual?
I was just comparing front toe settings between the G35 and 350Z and noticed that the mm and inch settings are the same, but the angle is different. I think it is a mistake in the G35 manual.
G35 (from 2006 service manual):
0 mm (0 in) (0.00°)
1 mm (0.04 in) (0.04°)
2 mm (0.08 in) (0.08°)
350Z (from service bulletin NTB04-043a):
0 mm (0 in) (0°)
1 mm (0.04 in) (0.1°)
2 mm (0.08 in) (0.2°) preferred setting
The formula to convert from toe in inches to tow in degrees is:
inv sin (toe in inches/tire diameter in inches)
The math works for the 350Z degrees, but not for the G35. It is easy to see how the numbers could have been screwed up when printing the service manual.
