Polarization angle dispersion is systematically underestimated by factors of 1-10 due to scale dependence and beam effects, causing magnetic field strengths in star-forming regions to be overestimated.
New optical polarization data of over 90,000 stars shows H I filaments in the Riegel-Crutcher cloud tightly aligned with a coherent plane-of-sky magnetic field, indicating magnetic fields shape the cold neutral medium.
