I think as far as the discussion was concerned, .002 didn't mean DICK, and you were just "peacocking" around with your "vast" knowledge. So again, .002 doesn't mean anything as far as what the OP is referring to.
Absolutely not. You took it totally the wrong way. I meant nothing of the sort.
It is similar to everyone saying the stroke on the 400 is 3.38, but it is not. It is 3.375. When discussing machining tolerances I simply try to be dead on, because I never know what someone is trying to do. As I mentioned, in the case of a cylinder sleeve, for instance, .002" can be the difference between a fit or a fallout.
