if i give you a ruler and a paper and ask you to draw a 16,85 cm long line ...you can't do it with extreme accuracy ? it is the same thing ! Navigator officer has a ruler and a paper and wants to draw a 20cm long line....why not to be able to it with extreme accuracy ?

Well, one might want to draw lines with extreme accuracy just for the sake of it. I didn't think of that.
However, if I had a ruler that made it possible for me to draw a line down to nanometer precision. I would not use it to that extent, since you told me just to be within a tenth of a milimeter.
What I'm trying to say is, that he'll be well off with the existing ruler. Since he will not get any data to work with, that makes the more accuracy worthwhile. Not in practikal use, anyway.
