Parallax explains the whole question you are raising. We always had that with postal scales until we got rid of the beam balances and brought in digital.

To an extent they are not as accurate as the beam balance but people take comfort in those 5 digits of precision.

Notice that FREEPER TIME is always 10 minutes into the future anyway.

You do not get the point. A helicopter pilot who flies around the LA basin filming news items, who miss judges distances by 100 miles, wont live long. Does not matter what could potentially confuse him. He would run out of fuel one day. If anyone has the ability to judge distances properly, it is a Helicopter Pilot. And 100 mile trips up and down the coast here are really not rare. And the multi-Basin region here is not the flat corn fields of Iowa.
