TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I don't like the whole idea ... tell them how to make it absolutely
correct, not tell them ho to get "warmer". But if you have to, say
something like "Enter these numbers to get an answer that is closer to
the correct solution."
It reminds me of the old clock metaphor: a clock that doesn't run at all
is right twice every 24 hours; a clock that loses a second a day is right
only once every 200 or so years.

> Isn't Pi to 16 decimal places _more_accurate_ than Pi to 4 decimal
places? So yes, that makes sense to me. But "accurate" is very different
from "complete" -- a phone number without an area code, for example,
would be accurate but not complete and adding the area code wouldn't
make it any more accurate but it would make it complete.
