I suspect that the Surveyor wants more of a "tolerance" on set comparisons. For instance: circle.contains(pointA) would return true if pointA is circle.radius plus or minus epsilon. That way pointA doesn't have to be spot-on but could contain some measurement error. The existing "Precision" essentially deals with quantization error: artifacts of storing the numbers in a digital computer. "Tolerance" deals with measurement imperfections (due either to equipment or operator induced error.) Is that right?
