My g.g.grandfather and his father were both surveyors. It is something of a tribute to them that in the 1990s lawsuit, one of the younger man's surveys - of the Fisher Miller Colony in West Texas - was entered into evidence by the State of Texas. The court held that the survey, while not totally correct insofar as metes and bounds went, was off by only feet and done with adequate care and therefore not to be overturned. I guess this is the equivalent of winning by one point at the buzzer.
