Lake Cheko section: contradictory distances to the hypocentre (8 km vs 7.0 km)

The Lake Cheko subsection gives two different distances from Lake Cheko to the Tunguska explosion hypocentre in the same subsection:

• "Lake Cheko is a small bowl-shaped lake about 8 km north-northwest of the hypocentre."
• (From the blockquote): "the lake's long axis points to the Tunguska explosion's hypocentre, about 7.0 km away."

These two values (8 km and 7.0 km) are inconsistent. The first is from the article's own text and the second comes from the blockquote citation. One of these distances should be corrected, or the article should note which is the more accurate figure (or explain why they differ, e.g., different measurement methods or different definitions of "hypocentre").
