Usually when I’m making a precise line, I’ll put an edge on the pencil lead so it will make a mark thinner than its diameter.

I seem to remember you as the one who brought up calculators, but I’m open to being mistaken.

    because as soon as you have access to a calculator, "off the top of your head" is an irrelevance
