And anyone who REALLY gets their tools set up to .002" is way past where they

Results on the best days are going to be within 1/64" or so, with the very,
very, very occasional dip to 1/128". Unless you're making a damned small box,
moving it from bedroom to kitchen when the dishwasher is in use will make it
move nearly that much.
With my eyesight as it is now (fairly good except for excessive floaters), I
doubt I could see a difference between 0.0002" and 0.002" on my table saw table
even if the straight edge would show it. And if I could, I'd still leave it
alone.
All of which is correct, but misses the point of the thread. The original post
asked, in essence, why is the Starrett more expensive, yet less accurate, than
the Lee Valley; this was shown to be a misconception. Whether the 2.5x greater
accuracy of the Starrett is needed for woodworking is a different discussion.
