That could be down to the whole Covid culture. I'm a stickler for accuracy despite my hippy start. But there is a culture of distraction. Lockdown seems to have made things far worse. There is a combination of too much irrelevant information in our society and not enough processing space. It's like the end of the Generation Game.

Re: Inaccuracy

Sorry AnnieS, this has been going on longer than I can remember, folks pretending they are motivated, or whatever, a job needs doing, with fervor, if this don't happen, we are all stuffed.

Re: Inaccuracy

Could it be a regional issue...? Different folk need different levels of spoon feeding....motivation is an interesting thing. I've been learning quite a bit about this myself recently particularly in how language is very important in communication, as in linguistic mirroring. Spending quite a bit of time in preamble. It's hard work but it can pay off.

Re: Inaccuracy

The only thing I think is that Drones are representative of some folks, looking in but serving no purpose, and requiring no specific skill to operate, time will sort it, but, undoubtedly, that is in short supply.

Haha too true! You have my sympathies. I really do believe that anyone can be developed. But some are simply not worth the effort.

Re: Inaccuracy

Google Dedekind cuts. All real numbers are defined in terms of negligible inaccuracies.
