There is the saying "near enough is good enough" used to justify sloppy work, but for me it is a deep truth. If you are building a fence then you really don't need half a thou' accuracy and it would astronomically expensive or impossible to do , but that might well be a good target for precision engineering. Make a piece of optical equipment and you want 20nano metres or better.

I do actually have a copy of that book and it's very good. I was always quite wary of my own lathe so no real mishaps

It was Raleigh's motto in the 1970's.
