Perhaps 'Precision' is a new marketing term in Cosmology !

Don't go giving them any ideas!!!!

Next minute, the journals will be flooding with "precision" articles!!!!

Like...

"Precision Measurements of Doppler Drift upon Cosmological Redshifts at 2<z<4"

"Precision Cosmological Models for Anomalous Flow in the Direction of...."

blah blah

Oh but we've only just started ...

"The Precise Cosmological Forces of Canine Driven Terra Forming";
"The Precise Dimensions of Gravity Attributable to Cosmological Bacteriological Enzymes".

Disgraceful sending up my own post !! Especially when I've spent the day on my next 'project' ...
"The Precise Cosmological Applications of Gravitation Lensing"
It should be a beauty for this audience !!


Cheers

It's as if they wave their opened palm across your face, and a jedi mind trick...

"precision cosmology"

I agree funny as all!

Kinda also works with "dark energy" "dark matter" "quark star" "worm holes"
