This post was not a personal attack in any manner against Bob Fulks, who is
certainly one of the best and long time contributor to this list, but the
fact is that the misunderstanding of what precision is, how it has to be
evaluated, seems to fly over the head of the majority, and this was the main
reason of my post.
And some comments make me think that here in a probably inconscient
overloading of the TRAD boat too.

Technology may do all the progress that you want in the future, unless the
DJA precision will not make the same progress, any discussion on the benefit
of extra precision is worthless and time spent for nothing.
You may wish a 128 bit computer if you want, this will not turn technical
analysis precision beyond to what the math theory expect from the precision
of the raw material: price, still limited to 4 or 5 digits.
Period.
If you do not understand the elementary maths error calculus that I used,
please ask to someone who understand it better.
