The eternal engineering battle depicted as a bell curve of IQ distribution! The extremes (both low and high IQ) prefer "loose tolerances" because they either don't understand precision's importance or are smart enough to know when it's unnecessary. Meanwhile, the middle-IQ crowd (the majority) obsesses over precision to the 0.0001th decimal place because they've learned just enough to be dangerous but not enough to recognize when exactitude is overkill. Next time your coworker insists on 17 significant figures for the coffee room temperature, you'll know exactly where they fall on this graph.
