Incorrect statement about the median on page 18 #8

Open
Description
If the median is 100 ms, half of the requests take longer than 100 ms, and half of the requests take less than 100 ms.
This formulation implies a strict lower/upper bound, which the median need not be.
Just consider a sequence where every single entry is uniformly 100 ms.
The statement is easily corrected to reflect the intended meaning by inserting 2 negations.
If the median is 100 ms, half of the requests take no longer than 100 ms, and half of the requests take no less than 100 ms.
