I'll elaborate.

I guess that's a bit of a sore spot with me because I've heard the "that's such a small difference" argument before. I sat down with at least one mouthpiece maker who made the argument by saying, "well that's a difference less than the width of a human hair," rather than attempt a further adjustment.

If you look carefully at the dimensions listed for German mouthpieces (Wurlitzer or Gelchweit or Maxton or ESM), for example, you'll find entirely separate models listed by differences of one, one hundredth of a millimeter. So I guess some folks aren't surprised by small differences.
