Actually I was simply making a distinction between how a calculator
can be made to input 2.4 + 2.3 and output 5 and how the operation of
a measuring device may not always produce the same results. The
distinction is that one process is affected by variations while the other
isn't.

I used mathematical language to explain the calculator's rounding
function. Adding 2 and 2 and getting 5 has nothing to do with variations
or precision or perception. It is simply the result of a rounding function.

Yes. The limits of perception.

Yes. The MoQ is nothing more than a road map. It only works from a
distance, if it works at all. Get too close and you'll loose the forest for
the trees or the leaf for the tree or the drop of dew for the leaf.
Perspective and relationship. In my opinion, the best road maps provide
a good perspective on relationships. The MoQ's levels are too one-way
for my taste.
