You're being too generous... this visualization misleads everyone who knows how to read an analog gauge. Your car's speedometer does not jiggle around to represent its own imprecision.
- SerLava 10y agoOther types of analogue gauges jiggle around.
- Retric 10y agoScales for example do jiggle around.
- sk5t 10y agoPerhaps if the person being weighed jumps around, in which case the scale is doing its job correctly--or a very sensitive scale reacting to changes in air pressure. Scale readings generally do not jiggle/bounce with a static load.
- Retric 10y agoAfter standing on a scale and you get oscillations from momentum which soon resolve to your actual weight. You see the same thing when putting fruit on a scale at the grocery store. You can see similar issues with most purely mechanical dials to one degree or another when they are responding to a rapid change.
