Going back to physics measurements, if your uncertainty (variation in the
cut in this case) is 1/128, then 5 cuts would give you a total
uncertainty of 5/128, or just over 1/32". That's +/- 5/128, too, so some
cuts could be more and some could be less.

One hidden truth is that some cuts will be a little less and some will be
a little more... You'll wind up somewhere in the middle of your
uncertainty range, not at the edge cases.

Exactly. And a great explanation, too. It illustrates well when it
is time to do something rather than to contunue to fiddle over the
last RCH.

And of course the optimum results would be that the cuts would somehow
be arranged (or cut) in a way that compliment each other making the
difference almost non existent.
