I think, in fact, that Fraktal is actually correct in this case, the poor example aside.
If fifty diehard baseball players and fans are noticing there's something wrong with their swing and saying, "The bat feels light", you don't just check the weight of the bat by looking at the number printed on it. You don't demand that they each take 10000 swings and report the results.
You get a scale and check the bat, then call the factory and get them to fix their manufacturing process.

But that example isn't very good either. You can get a feel for the weight of a bat by holding it. You can't get the feel for accuracy by making one attack
Also, in cases like this it's more like 4 out of 10 complainers have never held a bat before, 2 play once or twice per year, 2 are wielding tennis rackets, and one person is happily swinging a trout.

So, in your part of the world, diehard baseball players and fans swing trouts? And tennis rackets? Nice strawman argument.
The example as given is still valid, and accurate. If I spend hours, daily, working with software, and something isn't right, the only way I won't notice is if it was bugged that way from the begininng and I never knew what it was supposed to be.
