We have an untrained man in a box setting zero on an uncalibrated altimeter and calling it QFE.

Then we have another man in an aeroplane with a supposedly calibrated altimeter at the end of the runway setting zero and calling that QFE!

Which is the most accurate QFE? Pure semantics!

Some of course wind on the aerodrome elevation and fly on QNH.
