I mean, the Sith are literally an immortal boogeyman that have killed trillions over multiple galactic wars, basically every Jedi was just murdered, many of them personally known to Obi-Wan, and Anakin also personally murdered a room full of children.
I'll forgive Obi-Wan for a bit of rhetorical hypocrisy.
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!
Haha dam I hate it and they could have just made a deal with him in case this supernatural power would disappear under certain conditions like idk being tortured like this. Something to hope for. Yet this process how reckless we are when it comes to self motivated gains. Truly human and disturbing to see

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!

But his nose grew a LOT

And Jedi when judging Sith.

Not surprising that Mr. "Darth Vader murdered your father" Obi-Wan partakes in faulty reasoning.

I mean, it's true... From a certain point of view.

You are parroting jedi propaganda, everyone deals in absolutes all the time, even jedi themselves
sus@programming.dev · 3 pts · 1y
It's even more direct than that, the statement itself is absolute so logically it's equivalent to saying "I am a sith"

Of course the information gathered is faulty, they're measuring 3mm changes with a tape measure
OfCourseNot@fedia.io · 38 pts · 1y
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.
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works · 24 pts · 1y
Oh mine too, but that doesn't make it the right tool for the job.
Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 1y
Agreed. For those not using metric, tape measures usually have 16ths of an inch which is 1.5 mm, and you can easily measure down to 32nds.

Metric tape is good to ~1mm +/- 0.5 in my experience.

There are certainly a number of accurate measurement techniques. I simply mentioned my personal minimum.
ladicius@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y
That's very easily very accurate.

Only for a much looser definition of "very" than I seek in regards to the scientists asking the kinds of questions they are.

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!"

Which SCP number is Pinocchio again?

He's secretly an alien agent meant to spread disinformation before the invasion. You could call it a "Wooden body problem."

The Pinocchio fandom is going to heat up over this one.

So y'all are okay with forced imprisonment and psychological torture as long as it gives the answers you want to hear

Pinocchio could just answer with "I don't know" and it would be the truth. His nose wouldn't grow and the scientists learn nothing.

Until they torture him.
