You forget the most important difference ! Now that I have these tables I can recover the content of ANY .ple 'secured' using a numeric [0-8 digits] password within minutes.
That's the exact same thing I said, it is not another difference:

I fail to see how that is an error...

sure... Calculate the time needed to calculate the rainbow tables for all possible characters, from 1 to, let's say, 10 character long pwds. Examples of how long it can take are shown on the original Rainbow Crack page.
