Some difficulty in understanding the exact implications of the free distance has been found. The error correction ability of the configuration is not easy to understand. Clearly, the length of the block and the spacing of bit errors has a bearing on the matter: However, many texts on the matter imply that the free distance alone tells of some number of errors that can be detected;  detected in what length of block? Authors with an improved understanding of the topic are invited to modify the text with a view to better explaining the matter. Thanks,Armchair (discuss • contribs) 18:16, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
