• This article would be better without the opening two paragraphs about Godel's Theorem. They're just fluff, and much of what they say is wrong.
    • When they claimed "Gödel’s findings may seem rather obvious" that kinda put me off of the article. Obvious to whom? It wasn't obvious at the time and I'm sure _most_ people haven't even heard or thought about the problem before.
      • Maybe the wrong version of Godel's findings that the article states seemed obvious to the author. Lots of complex questions have simple, obvious wrong answers.
  • If you found this interesting and are a non-expert, I recommend browsing Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy by Wayne Moore (1970):

    Manufacturing got down to nanometer precision starting with macroscopic precision visible to the naked eyeball.
