The passage around this formula

A third, more uncomfortable check is what the toy model of the previous section actually implies at the numbers already computed: $t_L$ $\approx$ 3.5\, $\mathrm{ms}$ , or $t_L$ / $\beta$ $\approx$ 28.2 , for the solar-mass hole above. Taking $f_1$ = 1 as an illustrative, explicitly assumed per-quantum information content, a modest tolerance $\delta$ = 0.1\, $\mathrm{rad}$ (about six degrees) gives $t_G$ / $\beta$ = 100 , so $t_G$ $\approx$ 12.4\, $\mathrm{ms}$ …
