Hi
The key point here is the term “demonstrating”. When you get to 0.001 Hz it takes
more than just a little time. Not very compatible with a production line. Yes you *might*
ask “would anybody ever want that demonstrated ? “. The answer is yes, there are people
out the that need it demonstrated. It’s not cheap to do.
