You don't know the best part. The "offsets" are based upon a leaning 1/2" iron rod for the quarter corner, some 400 feet away.

Are you kidding me? You can't even repeat the same distances on two different days, much less by two different crews. That's great, two points on the same iron or pipe???
That is the result of low entrance requirements to the quote unquote profession.

I think it's more likely the result of expecting engineering programs to educate land surveyors.

Calling a monument off 0.01' is not the same thing as a boundary course for which there could be a logical and legitimate reason.

Exactly my man. I recently had a conversation where an engineer needed some coordinates for some well planning. I was on a conference call with several others at the same time and I relayed the coordinates for a Gas Well to him. At the end, I said something where the second decimal place was like 0.01' different. He said "Well, which is it?" I said it didn't matter because it was a hundreth. He said, "Well, I'm an engineer and we have to have everything precise". I then reminded him that 0.01' = 1/8" inside of a Christmas Tree that is 2.5' in diameter, for his planning of something that would get a 6' cellar deck and a 20" conductor pipe, all set by people with sometimes less than a high school education, and I then asked him if 1/8" really made a big difference. There was a huge roar of laughter from the other guys on the phone call and the engineer relented that MAYBE 1/8" wasn't something to worry about. 🙂
