"precise marking" with a "tape measure" is a bit of an oxymoron at
the best of times.

long as you use the same tape measure it is fine

Your reading comprehension is poor, it seems, or you don't
understand the difference between precision and repeatability.

If the object is to cut board X to fit space Y or make board A the
same as board B, then they're the same thing. Precision is rarely
needed in woodworking. Repeatability is almost always needed.
Measuring a horizontal distance between two points in space, then
transfering that measurement to material to mark and cut can require
precision - not repeatability - and can be pretyy dicey.
