Sorry, but you have delusions of precision. The claim I was
commenting on was that *estimating* (not my word) a yard was easy but
a metre was difficult (or impossible?). If you need to estimate a
yard or a metre without the aid of any measuring device, the
precision you can hope for requires no difference.
