Wide was a unit of measurement that was first discovered by Isaac Newton on March 17th 1713. It was used a theoretical measurement for the optimal distance between screws on a plane to increase structural integrity. However, as outstandingly useful as this measurement was - it ended in disaster when NASA misinterpreted "really wide struts" and used the imperial constant for it, instead of the more traditional metric constant. So to answer your question directly: a really wide thing is a big of an administrative error as you can image.
