    He said all the information they’re gathering is faulty. It’s very easy for such a statement to be false. Only a Sith deals in absolutes!

      My tape measure has millimeter divisions? In fact til 5cm (I think, might be 10. I’ll check tomorrow) it has 0.5 mm lines too.

      I mean I would use another tool probably, but if I only had my tape measure it would do unless the changes are smaller than like 0.25 mm.

        I would trust it that far for flat, square pieces of metal; not for an irregular shape with a rounded tip, mounted to an irregular rounded surface. For this use I’d want a steel ruler at minimum.

          wouldn’t it be even better to measure the force the nose pushes with? it’s easy to quantify and the apparatus could be a fixed mount on the head - hook it up to a raspberry pi which reads out a list of questions, records the answer and the nose output for further analysis!

    If Pinocchio believed what he said, even if it wasn’t factual reality, would his nose grow? What if he was an anti-vaxxer?

    “Pinocchio, do vaccines cause autism?”

    “Yes! Yes God damn it, and 5G melts your brain!”

    “His nose didn’t grow. It must be true!”
