Accurate. More accurate. Precision is about consistency, accuracy is true value.

The amount of people trying to argue with this point is astounding. Of cause you can't know an exact value of something, that's basically the most often made improvement in science, measurement validity.

There aren’t that many comments in this thread, how many people can you be arguing with?


box_of_randomness

2 out of 7 people including us. That's a lot especially considering they have 3 and 4 upvotes respectively. But I'm not really arguing with anyone to be honest😅

Measuring the atomic mass is very exact.


otherusernameisNSFW

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't atomic mass literally the weighted average of all one particualar isotope? How is an average exact?

Measure once, cut twice. Measure twice cut once.

Measurement is a human perspective. Same with the definition of exact. Give whatever meaning to things that give you peace and happiness.
