yep. I've been there many times and have thrown away beads, dumped gel down the drain, and done all manner of insane things just because I didn't remember that the 65% number is followed by that dammed +/-
Mind you, I still make that mistake, but I have 30 years of "how could I forget that margin thingy" to fall back on.
I think that it was when I was hanging with MoTheMan one SoCal and he flat stated, "who cares what the meter reads, care about how the cigar smokes" that I finally got a clue.
