Firstly, mechanical gauges with associated frictions and calibration points centered around expected norms. When you measure stuff you want to use centered gauges, but sometimes !SURPRISE! The measurement equipment is in the lower or upper third where it is suspect.

A close analogy is the computer sim data used today where it accurately predicts what something will do based on on observed mathematical algorithms which may or may not be correct or accurate
