There is either another me out there that I haven't met, or a whole lot 
of drugs in circulation. Infinite machine precision isn't something I 
preach. We ought to reasonably repair and maintain what we have and use 
what ought to be our main tool to work out processes and methods that 
take advantage of existing physical realities (like the increased 
accuracy and automatic centering of the bit in a hole when double 
drilling) without the need for impossibly accurate billion dollar 
hardware and electron microscopes just to make a hole in something.
