Real Pros Estimate Correctly
Engineers and scientists with fancy degrees: "We need precision instruments calibrated to six decimal places!" Meanwhile, the rest of us intellectual rebels: "Yeah, that looks about right." *squints at object from across the room* The bell curve of intelligence perfectly captures how the extremely smart and the blissfully simple-minded arrive at the same conclusion: eyeballing it works surprisingly well. The middle group is too busy calculating standard deviations to realize they could've just used their eyeballs and been home by 5. Next time someone questions your methodology, just tell them you're either at the genius end of the bell curve or... well, the other end. Either way, you got the job done!

Making "Eyeball'd It" A Part Of My Technical Vocabulary
The eternal battle between precision and practicality plays out in labs everywhere! Quality Control demands to know what sophisticated instrumentation you used, and there you stand, mighty in your safety goggles, proudly declaring you just... eyeball'd it. Nothing strikes fear into the heart of a meticulous scientist quite like learning that crucial measurements were determined by the highly advanced technique of "looking at it and guessing." Yet somehow those approximations work suspiciously often. The secret ingredient? Years of experience disguised as casual observation. Next time your supervisor asks for your methodology, just flex dramatically and say "my calibrated optical sensors" while pointing at your face.
