But how does this even happen?? I've had meters read the "good old fashioned way" in Wisconsin for almost 50 years and have never once had a problem with an erroneous reading.....

Do you have one of the smart meters? The SECO map shows most of the Villages as in-progress but it doesn't show how much has been completed. The entire effort started just a year ago. Are you sure you have a smart meter and that you've had it long enough for two errors to have occurred in the past year?
I had a bad reading last year with my non-smart meter when it was read the "good old fashioned way."
The new technology requires new software and errors happen. Perhaps you were "lucky" enough to be one of the first on the new system and got to see the errors before they were corrected.
