Seriously, suppose you wanted to measure a SINGLE side of the Great Pyramid - say - its' length.
Forget the device(s) used to do the measurements - laser or knotted string/poles.
First you define the extents of the the dimension - from where to where. THIS is a very grey area for me, not helped by a plethora of wildly enthusiastic - if not exactly specific - claims of accuracy that verge on claims made for Bidens' sentience. [He drifted aimlessly]
In short, what exactly is being measured here? Limestone and granite are hardly 'Mirror-finish' edges unless highly polished and most importantly UNWEATHERED.
I hope the question is clear enough, I've avoided the subjects of 'rounding', assuming, extrapolating, guessing ('Best'/whatever) and answers to questions unrelated to the initial EXTENTS of such a dimension and how they are derived from weathered edges of granite and limestone - with holes/voids in the blocks and bits of quartz sticking out randomly.
In short, what is the edge of an edge - or which edge do we settle for?
