He said all the information they're gathering is faulty. It's very easy for such a statement to be false. Only a Sith deals in absolutes!

But his nose grew a LOT

You are parroting jedi propaganda, everyone deals in absolutes all the time, even jedi themselves
It's even more direct than that, the statement itself is absolute so logically it's equivalent to saying "I am a sith"
Becoming a Sith used to be very hard to do since it’s such an exclusive club with the Rule of Two and all. Now these days all you need to do is deal in absolutes to qualify.
And Jedi when judging Sith.
Not surprising that Mr. "Darth Vader murdered your father" Obi-Wan partakes in faulty reasoning.
I mean, it's true... From a certain point of view.
I mean, the Sith are literally an immortal boogeyman that have killed trillions over multiple galactic wars, basically every Jedi was just murdered, many of them personally known to Obi-Wan, and Anakin also personally murdered a room full of children.
I'll forgive Obi-Wan for a bit of rhetorical hypocrisy.
If Pinocchio believed what he said, even if it wasn't factual reality, would his nose grow? What if he was an anti-vaxxer?
"Pinocchio, do vaccines cause autism?"
"Yes! Yes God damn it, and 5G melts your brain!"
"His nose didn't grow. It must be true!"
Of course the information gathered is faulty, they're measuring 3mm changes with a tape measure
My tape measure has millimeter divisions? In fact til 5cm (I think, might be 10. I'll check tomorrow) it has 0.5 mm lines too.
I mean I would use another tool probably, but if I only had my tape measure it would do unless the changes are smaller than like 0.25 mm.
Agreed. For those not using metric, tape measures usually have 16ths of an inch which is 1.5 mm, and you can easily measure down to 32nds.
Oh mine too, but that doesn't make it the right tool for the job.
Metric tape is good to ~1mm +/- 0.5 in my experience.
I would trust it that far for flat, square pieces of metal; not for an irregular shape with a rounded tip, mounted to an irregular rounded surface. For this use I'd want a steel ruler at minimum.
wouldn't it be even better to measure the force the nose pushes with? it's easy to quantify and the apparatus could be a fixed mount on the head - hook it up to a raspberry pi which reads out a list of questions, records the answer and the nose output for further analysis!
There are certainly a number of accurate measurement techniques. I simply mentioned my personal minimum.
That's very easily very accurate.
Only for a much looser definition of "very" than I seek in regards to the scientists asking the kinds of questions they are.
