Not really holding the micrometer in a practical manner

And you've taken a measurement, held that setting and checked other pieces to make sure that they all checked out the same? Sounds like trying to find fault in a 60 year old pic for some reason. Must be a sign of the times!

Haha, my grandfather taught me the “correct” way before my fingers were long enough to reach the thimble.

My Pappy told me if you can't say something intelligent, don't say anything.

Being a generally not only *glass half full* kinda guy but also a *I sure enjoyed the first half of that glass* fella... I chose to believe the "practical manner" comment related to the first pic.

As to the second guy, mayhap he has it locked and is using it as a go or no-go gage. There's the other half of your glass for you.
