A device that reads .11 is precise to the hundredths place. A device that reads .110 is precise to the thousandths place. So a device that reads .110 is, in theory, a better device than one that reads just .11.
“So a device that reads .110 is, in theory, a better device than one that reads just .11.”
True, however,,,,,, .11 and .110 are the same. But, to the math challenged brain, “Why! .110 is much worse than .08 or .11. He was really, really loaded!” I’m talking about appearances, not the accuracy of different devices. At the water plant, our sensors read the line pressure to 6 decimal places! Way overkill!
Now you’ve done it! All this talk about hundredths place and thousandths place. Don’t confuse the math phobic folks any more!
If you want to have some fun sometime, ask some kid in the meat department for eight-tenths of a pound of hamburg. He won’t have a clue.
Which reminds me. Once I took a 16” x 25” air filter for my heating system into a store to get some new ones. I asked the young man where his air filters were located and he replied: “OMG, what kind of car do you drive?”
Merry Christmas!
