Howdy, Ron,I think I can live with this derivation, and I agree with Keiran's more general description, as well.
As for clueless, it's a result of the schedule I keep. gerry Ron Lake wrote:
HI Gerry: I understand, but I think it is more a question of being observations that had some property which is point valued, rather than being points first. Keiran's example is relevant as the observation could have multiple geometric characteristics associated with it. I hope I did not in any way imply you were "clueless" - not at all my intention. I think your viewpoint leads to more rigid structures for data representation and that was certainly the case in the domain of conventionalplanimetry.I would argue that no instrumentation can make point measurements - but that will get us into a longer and likely not so useful debate.
