I don't know George, I think all the confusion is quite proper. In military 
terms, the situation about the different definitions is precisely snafu, and 
the various units only differ from either other by a scoche (the "o" 
pronounced as in "oh!"). Scoche being another precisely defined military term 
on this side of the pond.

Besides, when your artillery is of a suitable size, if it lands a foot or two 
off, there'll still be nothing left of the target, or the thousand foot 
radius that used to be around it.

Very much akin to a navigator saying "We're here" and pointing to that other 
poorly defined location, the circle of position. Calculated tightly, but 
drawn crudely, and often off by more than a scoche.
