Any time you make a series of cuts that result in a closed shape, a
1/64" is not sufficient. I make a lot of picture frames with mitered
corners. 1/64" will result in over an 1/8" or greater error in the
final joint. This is a significant gap. Even in a face frame for a
cabinet you may get a passable joint but not a good joint with a 1/64"
error in each cut.


Exactly.

An even more graphic example of angular error when dealing with curved
parts, like those found in chair making:
