Abstract: We have all heard various slogans and words about measurement such as Measurement is the cash register, Measurement is a necessary evil, Measurement is an inexact science, etc., and there may be some truth in them. Unfortunately, the measurement persons perspective of measurement has not changed much with time. We recognize that new technology and a new business environment have complicated our lives, but the overall view has been very narrowly and technically focused. We talk about the technical defensibility of what we do without taking responsibility for its economic impact. We revise technical documents, and we get carried away with the best accuracy at any cost. We apply the latest and greatest supercompressibility calculations to six decimal places to calculate a few MCF of gas which flow through an oversized meter run that has not been checked in a long time. The bottom line is: We cant see the forest for the trees.
