Let's move on to NIST. Little considered, eliminating it would effect all of us. For instance, would that gallon of gas, @ $3.81 per, still remain a full gallon?
Yes it would. The forces of the free market will compel vendors to assure their measurements correct else risk a reduction in revenue based on the reduction of consumer confidence. What makes NIST APPEAR valuable is the complacency of consumers...we just take for granted that the responsibility for 'getting what we pay for' is ours. Do you check the egg carton at the grocery to ensure there are no broken ones? Why do you do this? Should there be a government agency formed to ensure that you do not purchase 11 eggs because one is cracked?
