It's not even that much.

However, the charts always show the glideslope to the 100th.   They never
show headings to that accuracy.   If he'd actually looked hard at the chart
as to what they were changing, the fact that the elevation (which is depecited
on the chart in the same location) also changed would have been a big clue.
