<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Razz, post: 3441843, member: 100526&quot;]You are getting caught up in semantics of the word standard. Use a different analogy than the flat earth thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you know the difference between precision vs. Accuracy?</p><p>Precision is how close a measurement is to the actual value of something. Accuracy is how repeatable the measurement is. You can be very accurate but not very precise. So if you have a standard that is based on measurements solely you can be precise (close to the correct value) and accurate (repeatable). But if the standards are not based on just repeatable measurements and include judgement calls then at times you will be neither precise or accurate applying the standards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
