Using many cheap accelerometers to reduce error

Of course gyros don't measure acceleration. ;)

If you do it all on one wafer, you'll certainly have systematic error.

If the resistor gets its value marking before its resistance was measured, you wouldn't put it into the next bin up, even if it did measure out as qualifying.

Most nowadays look like the China one. Offset gausian

Not all that gaussian. There's perceptible skew, and probably some kurtotis as well. The numbers of samples in each bin aren't large, so the standard deviations on each would be four or five, but my guess would be that there' s something slightly odd going on - perhaps samples drawn from two adjacent (but slightly offset) gaussians.

Precision resistors get matched and culled before any markings are applied. Some even get laser trimmed to spec.

Precision SMTs usually do not even have a marking.

Is it or is it not a linear system? Ever hear of superposition? Didn't think so.

Krw's capacity not to think is remarkable, and frequently demonstrated, as here.

With anybody else you'd have to wonder what they were thinking, but krw doesn't think - he just consults his preprogrammed attitudes. Rick isn't a right-wing lunatic so he has to be wrong ...
