Sigh... this thread is fascinating and certainly has some points which
I will re-read more than once to appreciate fully but how well will
all this decimal hair-splitting fare in a 10' sea and the deck of 40'
boat still wet from a three day storm? Accuracy and precision are
certinly to be sought after, regardless of the platform, but common
sense says that at some point "close enough for government work" is
really quite sufficient.
