    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.

    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.
