SR-50: A bumpy road??

[Matt Agajanian]

HP’s accuracy vs display is what boggles my mind. Even though HP was quite a reputable company back then (no reflection on their current integrity), why weren’t they aware to ensure display accuracy extra unseen digits would validate that the results seen are reliable.

Yes, yes. More accuracy means more processing, more ROM, lengthier algorithms, computation time meant higher manufacturing and product costs. Maybe HP could have made a $395 product with higher accuracy work out. In any case, why were the accuracy reliabilities and their processes abandoned?
