Salt is the worst because a pinch of kosher salt is wildly different from a pinch of granulated salt.
That said, one key part of cooking is knowing when the measurements matter. Most herbs and spices will flavor a dish exactly the same if you add a teaspoon or a tablespoon.
Those measurements matter the most when there's a chemical reaction that's strongly influenced by the ratios. For example, having enough emulsifier in a cheese sauce.
