So I just gotta ask doesn't the wood change enough that measurements that fine wouldn't be necessary.

This adjustment, to the saws fence is being done so that the stacked dado blade shims are not needed, so you need to be able to adjust the fence the same thickness as would have been the shims, and you have to be willing to run your wood twice through the saw.

Most of the time, it's not necessary, but there are those cases where repeatability is important and small errors can add up.

I think I used a dial indicator on my TS fence once. I can't rememebr now what I was doing, but it seemed important at the time, I already had the indicator, and it was easier than squinting at the fence scale and trying to "read between the lines."
