I should scuttle my attempt to spread misinformation.

CSTR #54 documented that .ss used 36ths of an em as its unit, but this claim
was incorrect for all known AT&T troffs (though Heirloom troff went ahead and
made it correct for itself). 
http://lists.gnu.org/r/groff/2023-05/msg00060.html and its couple of immediate
follow-ups are the posts in a very long thread that best illustrate this.
