  • The scaling arrows in the middle are not great. The pattern is “a case where two things that are close but not equal are classified with as equal, and as a result of going through the process of expanding the difference, the things that were considered to be identical are no longer considered to be identical.

  • On a related topic, in cases where the likelihood of error is not zero but is equated with zero, and the process is such that the difference is magnified, e.g., if you play the message game on a long report line, problems occur with a frequency that should be zero but does not seem to be zero.

  • On the other hand, it is theoretically possible to have a case where “things that were not identical become identical due to a reduction in difference,” but I can’t think of a particularly interesting case.
