And if you're working to ten thousands of an inch, that's good. But I mostly work in units that I can see on a rule, which is about a sixteenth. I use a fractional caliper so I like to be able to see that something is, for example, a bit shy of 3/16, or a fat 3/16. If I set a digital to read fractions, and set it for sixteenths, I lose the ability to see the difference.

[I don't want to set the caliper to 128th, for example, and then have to try to convert those readings into something I can see on a rule.]
Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
