  Question: will the two images of the two experiments show box2 in the

 Why don't we consider floating point precision issues as computers
 equivalent to Heisenbergs uncertainty principle?

:) It does seem like that sometimes,

 Sorry, could help it ;-)

 Consider the case when  a military simulation
 is used to generate images that they expect a sensor should see.
 These images are compared to ground truth images and the result is
 used to calibrate a sensor - which is then used in a craft or weapon.
 If there is unknown positional error affecting the simulated image
 (and most practitioners are unaware of the effect of
 spatial/positional error on rendered images) then the sensor gets
 miss-calibrated.

If the calibration procedure includes the range where errors like that 
then it should model the error. (After all, that's the point of 
calibration.)

Well, OK not to be pedantic or anything :) but the problem is not 
uncertain, we know very certainly that it's going to happen, whether we 
observe it or not.
