Your statements clarify the situation, yes, and we can probably close this issue. But it's clear that users need guidance when they supply values or apply constraints on measures. If...

@HajoRijgersberg Sorry to be ignorant, but could you point me in the right direction to investigate the distinction between *ideal measures* and *concrete measurements*? There is likely a standard description...

Right for measurements made by real instruments, floats are appropriate. But for specifications, like “the container’s volume must be at least 200 microliters,” the need to specify precision is really...

I can’t speak for Jake, but if one wants to be able to talk about the meaning of experimental measurements, one needs to be able to represent _both_ the meaning...
