Comment on Math question: how do we get an irrational number pi from the ratio of circumference and the diameter of a circle?
It’s not fixed. Millimeters aren’t 1/100 of a centimeter.
It is fixed. Your ruler shows 1.0, and then you estimate 1 digit past to 1.00 +/- 0.01.
You’re not making any estimation within 1/10 like that. 1/2 is as close as you can reasonably get.
Ok, well I didn’t come up with the system so please write to the heads of science to get it changed.
You beat, but this seriously is not standard practice in academia or professionally.
