To what were you referring when you used the word "precision" in response to my comment about "uncertainty"? You don't know.

I was referring to your comment below, of course, since "precision" is your word, not mine. Read below:

Einstein would tell you that "precision" doesn't prevent god from playing dice, although he didn't worship that god.

I am not a native speaker of English and I may have misunderstood your use of the word. Apologies for the discomfort that may have caused you.

Einstein never made any comment about "unpredictability". Measurements of quantum quantities are reliably predictable as Einstein knew.

Remember Schroedinger's Cat? That's the unpredictability they were discussing, rather than predictable "measurements of quantum quantities" ("quantum particles"?) - that the cat is neither alive nor dead but "a cloud of probabilities" and all that...

Anyway, since you found my previous post "silly", then perhaps this is a good time to bow out of the conversation, since I would hate to waste your time. Next time, perhaps you could point out what seems to be the misunderstanding and we could go from there.

The words I posted represent a finer knowledge than what Mead knows

Right. I wish you had looked up his theoretical & practical achievements before you wrote that statement. Anyway, if you write a book on the subject until the end of May, I have nothing against reading your book on the plane to NY instead of Mead's.
