That's just basic mathematical theory, really. You inevitably get to a point where doing any more iterations of an experiment or calculation or process is just over-egging the pudding.

Think of it this way:

You take a piece of string and you cut it in half. And then you take one of the halves and halve that, so you now have quarters. You can cut each quarter into eighths, then eighths into sixteenths etc etc etc. You can keep on cutting those pieces into progressively smaller bits, but you get to the point where it's useless cutting them any further even though theory says you can, because in theory, you can do this infinitely. In practice, you can't. Well, unless you start fannying around with an electron microscope...

Plus, in practical situations, you have to decide what is an acceptable margin of error. Because nothing is ever perfect.

But just because something isn't perfect, doesn't mean you throw good, useful data out of the window.

Well I've cut my piece of string in half lengthwise, but I'm having trouble going further .

I've got a ticknical question?
When I normally log in I get the option of selecting the right password but which isn't right for a different CC site . If I was to log in to the new site using a different password will that then cock things up when I want to log back in to this site as I have forgotten it's password ?

Modern tecknolergee! Where will we be with it ?

A light dusting of snow but the forecast gale has not arrived yet.
The roadway does not look to be gritted but the temp outside is up to 2.2C so this area may not be too slippy tho' my garden path looks bad.
The main road out of town could be dodgy as it never gets any sunshine and is shaded by banking with trees. It is a know hazard area in winter for about 3 miles even if gritted.
Yesterday tourists were creeping along for no obvious reason when I came off the ferry but after getting past the creepers all following a motorhome at 35mph I got a pretty clear and fast run home.
Still to finish unpacking and get soup on the go.
