Is there a mistake in rotational temperature of HF on Wikipedia?

Physics Asked on December 29, 2020

I am referencing this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_temperature

So, I see that $theta _R = frac{(h/2pi)^2}{2Ik_b}$.

I took the value of $I$ from https://cccbdb.nist.gov/mieigen2x.asp.

However, when I do the calculations for $theta _R$ by plugging in the numbers, I get
$$theta _R = 46.8324 K$$
not $30.2K$.
Here is my Mathematica snippet

My question is, has Wikipedia gone wrong, or am I messing this up somewhere?
