To start an argument?
Just one.
Unless he can find someone else!

Some people on that "other board" seem quite content talking to themselves. 😉

I strongly disagree.
Don't get me started.....
It depends....................
Now wait a minute...
Sometimes my Karma runs over my Dogma.
Well... when you work solo, who else is there to argue with??? LOL
It takes two: one who set the original monument, and a second person to argue that HIS position is superior.
On occasion I agrue with a robot. Sometimes I'm wrong....

Maybe you could write a script for Jeff Dunham.... I think the surveying community would like it!

I've seen guys argue with themselves in that respect, two pins with same cap inside the diameter of a pop can.

And the answer they will give is "I set that one when I was surveying that property and I set the other one when I was surveying the other property". Maybe they charge by the corners set.

Or they are real proud that their 2 surveys were that close.
That's why when I'm working alone I always take the 2 way radios,
My son must be well on his way to being a surveyor (or an internet troll) because he will start an argument about anything by making some patently ridiculous assertion. Then once he's drawn you in and you ask him why he's arguing such a ridiculous point, he will argue with you about whether or not he's arguing with you.
Coke please...

When I am alone with the robotic total station I do indeed have two radios, one with me and the other on the tripod so that I can talk to Looky-Lou when he's prancing around in front of the scope thinking he's on social media racking up 50 million views, or when his tentacles reach out to have a fiddle (with the instrument). Some of them don't like it so you have to go back to the instrument to continue the debate. One chap kicked the tripod, retreated, then picked up a bottle as weapon. Fortunately the cops were driving past and within 30 seconds he was in the back of their chariot, screaming about an invasion of his public right of passage.
So it only takes one surveyor to start an argument, just set up the equipment and wait.
I often verbalize issues with corner posts that are standing where the monument once existed. :clink:
Two sounds better than one. But you don't get twice as much done. And it's a lot harder to decide when to take coffee break. And two on a break costs more than one.
It's one.
(In a good old Brit text book they outline six, or eight. And the job descriptions are hilarious, like cook.)
