We /can/ talk about tolerance, but to do so meaningfully and with any

the board to assess its density, measure its moisture content, think
about the joints we plan to use,...

As in all things, those who delve too deeply into the theoretical
rarely find time to practice the practical.


My take, even on non-precision woodworking, is that knowledge and
understanding are more likely to contribute to quality of result than is
their lack.

Or, as is the case in point, too much "knowledge" has gotten in the way
of "understanding", contributing to less than satisfactory result.

I rest my case...
