Okay, but for 3D modelling I'd be willing to bet the typical render
resolution disallows that accuracy with which you say a human can manage.
Or would I lose that bet?  Hmmm.  1/250 of an inch on a 19" screen at
1024x768 for example?  I think that's about 70 pixels per inch... maybe, or
something like 1/70 an inch of accuracy possible.
