** A colossal, context REMOVING, ****ing pommy IDIOT !!!!


** WRONG !!!

Even if *both* resistors were 1% high, the series value is also 1% high.

Using resistors in series or parallel IMPROVES the % accuracy of the
final value.


Phil, those two statements appear contradictory, because your use of "%"
changes from the first to the second.


** Only seems that way to someone with autism.



Or you are wrong...


** Go get rooted - you autistic prick.


What improves is the *chance* that a resulting value will be within
tolerance.


** WRONG.

It will be within tolerance for all non faulty resistors.


Since quoted tolerance assumes a particular distribution of values around
the quoted value,


** No it does not.

The % tolerance of a resistor is the MAX amount that any sample will differ
from the nominal value INCLUDING the effects of a normal service life.
