quit arguing slippery slope fallacies.

It's perfectly reasonable to say you want 0.08, but you are willing to accept the margin of error as well.

It's not 0.08 then. It's 0.09 (or w/e your margin is). Why is this such a debated topic?

Literally, I do not even get what you're arguing. The person I was replying to was fundamentally different than a margin of error, so first off this is already totally sideways. But fine, if you want to talk margin of error, lets do that. I don't get what your point is. A 0.09 because it's 0.08+0.01 is just 0.09. You get a ticket if your past the margin of error.

Are you saying something different? What the hell is going on lol.

You get a ticket in your country? In the US, you go to jail in handcuffs, have your car impounded and have to hire a lawyer to go to court and that whole deal.
Ah, I'm in the US, I don't know the real punishment, I was just saying ticket as the idea of punishment haha.
