Antennas led astray

So why strive for more and more accuracy in the absolute age of the universe if the time standard is arbitrary? *ALL* units of measurement are arbitrary. Once a standard is set, that's (if you are sane) what you use. By that convoluted logic: The dollar is an arbitrary unit so why strive for accuracy in your paycheck? The inch is an arbitrary unit so why should the carpenter strive for accuracy in matching the new door to your old door frame? Miles per hour are based on two arbitrary units so why should the cop give you a ticket for doing 90 in a 35 MPH zone? The liter is an arbitrary unit so why should the maker strive to ensure there is 2 liters of soda in a 2 liter bottle? But, I know you are just playing word games here. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
