    The example was only to illustrate that measurement precision is independent of the time it takes to perform the measurement.

    I don't think time and measurement precision are necessarily related in that way. You can measure weight with increased precision by using a more precise scale, without increasing …

    This argument feels like it's assuming the conclusion. If in principle it is only possible to measure quantities to finite precision, then it follows logically that we couldn't tel…
