It's not about uncertainty, it's about precision. Unless, of course, you think that scientific notation is limited to only high schools.

- ouid 9y agoWhat do you think the difference between precision and uncertainty is?
- vacri 9y ago'Uncertainty' is a much more ambiguous term that means many more things than 'imprecision of measurement'. Still, I'm interested to hear why you think sig figs are high-school only when they're the standard way of writing in scientific notation. Do you genuinely think that the example I gave from the video is reasonable? It sounds like you're a theorist and have no experience in real-world application.
