    Oscillating isn't "the word" for this video. The word "so" is the word for this video used in every single sentence in this video no less. Her grammar is ridiculously bad. Honestly, the word so used literally hundreds of times in just a few minutes. Hundreds. This is some kind of bizarre world record. It's so bad it makes the presentation unlistenable due to all the cringing taking place by the listener.

    The "age" of rocks has almost nothing to do with "where" they're found (especially when they're calved off from a larger specimen), "why" they are found in such bizarre shapes, locations, and blends, or "how" they got to their current location, or where shattered, infused, or ground to dust. North America, moreso than other continents, was "assembled", and not so long ago. That Pangaea idea is pure 19th Century thinking that outlived its valued long ago. A whole lot of "Six Blind Indian Fakirs Describing an Elephant to the Rajah" thinking going on. "Oh, we have these facts. Let's figure out a theory", IOW.

    I'm the author of Compass and I just came across this video. It is very nice. It is very interesting to listen to people talk about using Compass and the things that work well and the things that are frustrating. It gives me ideas about what things I might need to fix or improve. Thanks Ben for putting together the presentation. One comment: There was a discussion about Compass not saving more than one digit past the decimal point. That's not accurate. Compass data has a resolution of 0.01 feet or 3 milimeters. If you are working in Meters, that would be 0.003 meters, which is more than two digits. Also, what you see in the display does not indicate how many digits are saved. The display is completely separate from what is saved. For example, if you enter a value like 9.01 meters, the full value will be saved, no matter how many digits are displayed. The number of digits displayed is configurable. To do this, you select "Options->Editor Preferences" from the Editor Menu bar. Then select the "Edit Grid Format" page. Finally, you adjust the "Digits After the Decimal Point" option. When you are done, you can save the value so it is always the same when you run the Editor. To do this, you select "Options->Save Default User Settings."
