According to the popular stereotype, the scientist
makes precise observations and then employs logical reasoning; if such a procedure is to be adopted in all fields of enquiry, should not religion be dismissed as prescientific superstition?

New
observations reveal that the object weighs in at a whopping 6.6 billion suns,
making it the most massive black hole for which a
precise mass has ever been measured.
The scientists used the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a continent - wide radio - telescope system, along with the 100 - meter radio telescope in Effelsberg, Germany, to
make an extremely
precise observation when the planet Jupiter passed nearly in front of a bright quasar on September 8, 2002.
«The fact that these pulsars were never before detected in this highly studied area of the Galaxy shows that the GBT has outstanding capabilities and will be an important tool for astronomers to
make very
precise, very sensitive
observations of the Universe.
However some technical challenges still need to be taken to
make the technology more accessible and usable to its full potential: gaining selective and comprehensive genetic access to the neurons of interest, controlling variation in the expression of the optogenetic tools (when using viruses) and its
precise localization (axon vs. presynaptic terminals), tailoring light - delivery system signals to individual cells in a population rather than the population as a whole, developing
observation techniques which have the same spatial and temporal resolution as those tools... to cite only a few of them.
But they needed additional
observations, using more
precise instruments, to
make a definitive call.
In general, survey results based on larger numbers of
observations are more
precise, that is, less prone to sampling variance than those
made across groups with fewer numbers of
observations.

observations allow geologists to
make fairly
precise predictions about Mount St. Helens: a specific pattern of earthquakes, for example, means that new lava will erupt within two weeks.
As you know, it is not all that easy to
make observations in the polar regions which is why we have had so little
precise information from there until recently.
However, I conducted an experiment in which I
made observations that had a precision of 1 cm and found that the average of those measurements was much closer on three separate occasions to the average of the more
precise observations than 1 cm.
