Dave.
Even if true I think a company would still make the device as accurate as possible and then advertise it as a selling point. If I had a choice between otherwise similar devices, but one was accurate within 5%, and one was within 0.1% I'd definitely go for the .1%
Anyway, I don't know about you but I can hear 1% difference easily. Then there would be a percentage of folks who had exceptional hearing that probably can hear that 0.1%
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
