Abstract

This short viewpoint article draws attention to, and expresses frustration over, the phenomenon of false precision. False precision abounds within (and beyond) the transport sector. It seems many find it irresistable to present numbers with far more precision than is merited, giving the illusion of high confidence in the stated figures.
