"Metrology is the science and process of ensuring that a measurement meets specified degrees of both accuracy and precision."
- Metrology is the study of measurements. Issues of accuracy and precision are a small subset of that study. This page doesn't touch on anything else and that is misleading.
"Accuracy is the "correctness" of a measurement; that is, how closely it matches the value being measured."
- I disagree with that. The Accuracy of a measurement is determined by a statement of all the factors contributing error to a measurement and any correction factors applied.
"Precision, on the other hand, is how detailed a measurement is."
- I disagree. The precision of a measure is a statement of the range of error.
In order to repair this page those errors should be corrected and the discusssion of metrology opened up to include everything that is measured weighed and judged including the historical precedents.
