I don't get it. Is a tape measure invalid because height varies over the course of a day?

Does a tape measure change?
The measurement does.
But the instrument for measuring doesn’t change. That’s what makes it dependable, predictable and something to measure against. You can’t measure against a moving target.
lol! Good one!!!!
