Resolution vs. Accuracy
In the Digital world that we live in , its easy to make the assumption that a precision measuring devices’ resolution is the same as it’s accuracy
It seldom is, and a good way to remember is this,
“a watch reads to a second, but its not accurate to a second“, might be several seconds or even a minute off a month
True “accuracy” can only be assessed by comparison to traceable standards
