I disagree, a tolerance of 2 in either direction directly implies that starting from the solution you can round all the numbers up by two or round them down by two and the lock will still open.
Edit: To follow up, the original claim in the article was: "20-45-35 will open a lock set to 22-44-33", or in other words, a combination off by "-2, +1, +2" will open the lock.
Not as Aaron3 quoted it. (I guess EY has edited it since.)
I somehow missed the 33-44 transpose in the quote. That would indeed be a wide variance.
