Where Warton bolts together sections of Typhoon, they have such a close tolerance that the shop floor moves on computer automated jacks and fricken l@ser beams compensate for the daily up and down motion.
Sheer
PR brilliance. "Our factory's falling to bits" is mysteriously translated to "blah, laser beams on sharks, blah, blah, high tech blah…."
It matters not what is the absolute position of the two bits to be stuck together, but their relative position. The claimed "matchstick distance off correct" is still quite a lot for a Typhoon, and way more than 2mm in the radius of the Earth.
