Page 67. Example 7.8a

The queston is asking which of the following decreases the chance of turbulent blood flow in a vein.

Choice A is "Narrowing the vein".

In the explanation it says A is wrong because it widens the vein and increases the Reynolds number.

Narrowing and widening are obviously not the same... but it's 6:30 in the morning here and I haven't slept yet so my thoughts are very dull and incomplete.

Can someone veryify that this is a typo so I can get some sleep?

Yea I'm definitely sure it is a typo. I was having the same thoughts awhile ago after reading that same example.
