It is the difference between first measuring pi=3+-0.2 and the newer measurement of pi=3.14+-0.002.

Yes, he explained that he made an assumption.

Also if the old measurement has a "bigger error", it is obsolete by definition.

He also explains why he is not calling the older data obsolete, which was your claim. A claim which you apparently decided to pursue in lieu of admitting that the 34:21 ratio you touted doesn't mean anything. You seem to prefer to go off on one tangent after another, rather than stay on topic, once your assertion goes to pieces.

Answer a simple yes or no question.
If you find new data that is more accurate, do you continue using the old data?

That's not a relevant question. We're not talking about a single point of data. We're talking about a data range. The old data isn't wrong, it's not as accurate.

Your refusal to answer a simple question lets me know all I need to know.
