uhhhh, some of us only have a masters degree and can't follow such discussions

As a grad school dropout, I am admittedly overcompensating.

One of the main reasons for my writing the referenced article was to disabuse people of this notion. Anyone, regardless of his skill level, will visibly benefit from measurable improvements in the precision of his equipment, such as guns and ammunition.
