I don't believe this. It's not necessary for you to believe it. It remains true in any case. This proves you have no clue as to basically the only way an analog frequency counter (meter actually) can be fashioned, and how relatively inaccurate it is. Nor how a digital counter works. Frequencies, outside of pure, abstract mathematics, are things that exist in the physical world. The physical world is an analog world, and all systems that interact with the physical world do so using analog equipment. Therefore the maximum accuracy attainable in any system that interacts with the real world is determined by the maximum accuracy of the analog instrumentation upon which it depends for that interaction. It follows, then, that no digital system interacting with the physical world (including navigation, audio, video, and just about everything else except for things like corporate accounting) can provide greater accuracy than the best analog system. Any now in another post you say video too? Yes. Video also interacts with the physical world, and so it is subject to the same constraints, as I've described above. Do you know how an all-digital, LCD flat screen TV works? There is no such thing as an "all-digital" device that interacts with the physical world. I do know how LCD screens work, but they are not digital devices, they are analog interfaces. Does picture get even better if hooked to digital cable? There is no consistent difference between digital and analog. Either can provide any arbitrary level of image quality. It is interesting to note, however, that analog systems are theoretically capable of perfection and yet never attain it, whereas digital systems can never be perfect and yet sometimes come closer to it. I leave an understanding of why this is so as an exercise for the reader. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
