In a previous life when I learned a 'real world job' (industrial toolmaker in Germany), our master used to yell: "Not as precise as possible, only as precise as necessary!" (essentially the German version of "Cha Bu Duo" I guess?) when we spent too much time on one thing.
This is exactly why tolerances exist which are clearly defined upfront for every measurement. Inside the tolerance is by definition 'good enough', outside is not. Very simple and leaves no room for discussion.
- ucha 4y agoWell this article seems to be about the opposite of that, less precise than necessary or slightly outside of tolerance range!
- user_named 4y agoAbsolutely not the same thing. Chabuduo is often disregarding the question or requirement and doing whatever they were going to do anyway.
- flohofwoe 4y agoIt was my (typically German) poor attempt at making a joke about the 'German precision engineering' cliché ;)
- solarkraft 4y agoPrecisely maxing out the tolerance!
