usually  lead  to  significant  results:  unstable  instrument,  effect  of  an
                           influential  magnitude or, more commonly,  a confusion  between two
                           elements to be measured.
                               This  is  a  long  list  of  qualities,  but  do  not  let  that  worry  you.
                           Tackling metrology is the fate of those who intensely love measuring.
                           You could almost assert that one takes up metrology as one takes holy
                           orders.

                           III Answer the questions:
                           1 What qualities must a metrologist have?
                           2 What inquiries must a metrologist make?
                           3 What does measuring mean?
                           4 What should a metrologist do for some complex operations?
                           5 What ought a good metrologist do?
                           6 What does doubting lead to?
                           7 What does it mean for a metrologist being honest?
