Now, even in a temperature controlled environment, I can pick up an instrument and immediately feel if it's different. It makes it so that I focus on the feel of the instrument instead of the piece of music I'm recording. It's distracting and before I know it, I've broken out the tools and wasted 30 minutes of my day getting it right.
Now, if I can feel a .01 mm difference in a guitar or bass, how is it that an NFL Referee or Umpire, both of whom come in contact with an NFL Football countless times before and during the game, can't tell if there's a 32 oz difference in the ball?
Personally, that tells me that it's not a significant difference and therefore, isn't a big deal.

That is just about the worst analogy I've ever seen. You can pick up an instrument and immediately feel that it's different because you're an expert on playing the instrument and you know exactly how it's supposed to feel.
Would you expect your maid to be able to pick it up and immediately feel that it's different?
If you wound up wasting 30 minutes of your day getting it right because the instrument was wrong, and the maid had picked up the instrument and handed it to you, WOULD YOU BLAME THE MAID?
