      Shit you and us all.

      Worst part of nano is that error is intristic, how much error is where the fun comes in

          For sure, and thats generally the goal of any engieering - the biggest question is what error are we measuring? Something like vesting a fully autonomous drone, not even close; tubes in a funny shape that trap all light, were already there 99.9%

            IIRC it was around one misplaced atom every century for some throughput. It’s like digital vs analog or so I understood it.
