Hi Stefan-
I think that you push your argument too far when you ask:
*******************************************************
I admit to speaking in generalities. Does anyone have examples of
measurements whose absolute authority as a standard lies outside of
NIST or similar agency in Europe?
*************************
Yes, of course. The Particle Data Group, centered at Berkeley.
Regards,
Jack

to wit, how the milk gets into the cow. Both of us
had marveled over that mystery a long time. We had
followed the cows around for years - that is, in the
daytime - but had never caught them drinking fluid of
that color."
