accuracy/acceptance
That is a very dangerous mis-conception, in my opinion!
accuracy/acceptance
My monuments were not set to that standard, so are they acceptable?
accuracy/acceptance
Point being of course, that there are many, if not most corner monuments, that were not set with the fictitious 0.07' accuracy standard!
None are acceptable?
accuracy/acceptance
[sarcasm]As always, it depends.[/sarcasm] In this case, it depends on what kind of surveyor is on the job...a real surveyor or a deed staker.

As I meant it, for those of us lucky enough to deal with the Land Court the opinion of the court's engineers used to be, if the bound falls within about 01.5' then the bearing and distances are good and shall not change.
In the private practice world that was a tenth... If the bound fell within a tenth of the record information then the bearing and distances don't change. After that it's a subjective decision for the surveyor to make.
Apparently, he doesn't understand measurement either. 0.04' in 1320' = 1:33000. Good enough today, more than good enough 20 years ago.
I could only wish that we would achieve 1:33000!
And we get told that 0.04' is the kiss of deadly incompetence no matter what the situation (or length of line) 😉
I do wonder though if there are some that have run a traverse and casually pulled up original PLSS coreners and moved them because they feel they were placed in error. Nothing surprises me.

Well Jp, in an ideal world the surveyor would already know most of these important concepts BEFORE they were licensed. However, you have a good point. There are a few informed "teachers" making the circuit that are teaching what the law actually says, but most shockingly there are probably even more "teachers" out there that not only do not know many of these important concepts, they are sometimes teaching against or contrary to what the courts have said.
What usually happens when one of the informed teachers present their material at a conference and the "powers that be" do not, or will not accept what is plainly put before their eyes and refuse to ask the presenter (or similiar presenters) to return.
