Default Re: GURPS Starships line errata (and some observations)

Regarding airlocks, Spaceships, p. 42 says:
The capacity of an airlock is the maximum number of human-sized individuals that can occupy it. The table below shows airlock capacity and area (in hexes) by spacecraft SM:
Code:
SM        +4  +5  +6  +7  +8  +9  +10  +11  +12  +13  +14  +15
Capacity   *   1   1   1   2   3   4    5    6    7    8    9
Hexes      *   1   1   1   1   1   1    2    2    2    2    4
*The ship is too small for airlocks or, to put it another way, the entire ship is an airlock.

But Spaceships, p. 10 says:
Along with their 20 systems, all spacecraft get the following equipment.
Airlocks for entering the vessel. A spacecraft can be assumed to have (SM-4) airlocks, with each airlock capable of admitting (SM-4) persons per cycle.
Which means the Capacity line should look like:
Code:
SM        +4  +5  +6  +7  +8  +9  +10  +11  +12  +13  +14  +15
Capacity   *   1   2   3   4   5   6    7    8    9    10   11
