Interesting paper. A quick browse shows it to be more of a philosophical overview of the subject focusing on principles and thus accessible to everybody. Accuracy and Precision ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision ) are a good way to approach Metrology ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrology ). I always found it fascinating that we setup scales which we take for granted as absolute, but which are in fact in reference to some object and thus only relative.
