I'm sitting here weighing 10.0000 gram flour samples for iron

tests. Is that nitpicking? How about I just weigh them out to 10.0

gram? Is that accurate enough? How about I just drop the decimal

point altogether and weigh out 9 to 11 grams? That would be a lot less

picky wouldn't it? And quicker too! But not accurate nor precise.

I appreciate your energy and ideas but I don't think you'll ever

reach critical mass by writing and revising essays. Dennis
