I think I know where you are going with that but I am not sure. Could you explain it to me, please?

Your final result can have no more significant digits than your least-precise measurement.

Your final result can have no more significant digits than your least-precise measurement.

Exactly right, and said better.

But taking it further:

(a) Every scientist learns this principle. Global warming alarmists are KNOWINGLY violating what they know about science.

(b) Climateers are using "temperature reconstructions" -- educated guesses -- from counting the number of bacteria in fossils, from tree rings, and from ice core samples.

These are not precise measurements.

So they cannot draw conclusions to a greater level of precision than their GUESSES drawn from counting the bacteria in the guts of long-dead animals.

Thanks. I get it now.
