If the exit measurement was of the leading edge due to distortion of the curve, then it appeared as though the exit was before the entry. Is that all wrong and simplistic ?.
If the neutrinos are getting there 60 nanoseconds faster then this is equivalent to a distance roughly of 300000 x 0.00000006 = 0.018km = 1.8m, which is way bigger than any neutrino might be.
