This was my first thought, but not related to the sequester. Imagine that every knife will need to be measured to a precision of 1/100 of an inch. This from folks that approximate 100ml to 3 oz, a margin of error of 12.7%.
As I am a machinist by trade, I would consider it smart if they would create and issue go/no go gauges and remove any possibility of error.
If they were smart.
It is sort of self-answering. Consider it rhetorical.
