That would involve counting (and then in that particular case,

One
classic was the time they told me that my method of measuing something
(actually capitance) was a 'comparison' and not a 'measurement'. To this

involve comparison to a standard.
Tongue _firmly_ planted in cheek, I could ask you to measure the
