So what about APM? That's the thing I'm waiting for :-)

Shit you and us all.

Worst part of nano is that error is intristic, how much error is where the fun comes in

In the maths in Engines of creation, the errors were supposedly so small they were negligible.

For sure, and thats generally the goal of any engieering - the biggest question is what error are we measuring? Something like vesting a fully autonomous drone, not even close; tubes in a funny shape that trap all light, were already there 99.9%
