So, because we cannot be correct for everyone, we should not take worry
about being correct for anyone?  If I can provide a guide that is useful
to 90% of my readers, then 90% of my readers are better off than they
would be otherwise and the other 10% are only marginally worse off than
they would have been otherwise (their resizing may be a little too much
or too little).  Now, if the failure in the other 10% cases really
pisses them off, that might not be a gaiend up being a net loss, but in
this particular matter I don't think that's very likely.
