How do FE-researchers account for the limited resolution of the instruments they use?
You can measure a distance only with a certain accuracy, you measure angles only with a certain accuracy, you can measure time only with a certain accuracy, digital images have a pixel-resolution and silverhalogenide-photographies have a grain-resolution. How do you take that fact into account?
How do you design your experiments and how do you analyze your data to sidestep the problem that you cannot get a precise value?
