"Most practical engineers work with averages and safety margins. They do not do worst case design."
Well, often they do, hopefully always. But that just means that unless a part or process is out of tolerance that the product should meet it's specifications. And to improve the odds, especially those of catching process failure, there is usually a final test of key parameters.
Doesn't mean it WORKS for Pete's sake, let's not get carried away! But the odds become acceptable that it will...
Measurements are GOOD! It's reason that has failed audiophiles and manufacturers alike. How many factors are there that can be a little out of kilter and be audible under certain conditions? Humans are really really good at sensing small differences.
Especially now, in the digital era, I think we could come up with an adequately reliable electric listener that could do as well as humans at noticing little factors. But what are the odds that there would be one judgement setting for it that everyone would agree with?
