You very much get the sense of an old Eliezer Ben Yaakov telling stories of the glory of the Temple to his young disciples, and them struggling to fit together the inconsistencies in the old man's tales and imagining this wondrous place they only know as a devastated ruin. It's so heartbreaking.
I haven't spent a lot of time with Middos and I had never thought of it this way, but wow, yeah, that is heartbreaking.
At some level, measurements are a story we tell about a physical object, what we call a model rather than an absolute truth about reality.
Ok that is fascinating to me. I am 100% not an engineer and I had never thought of measurements in this way.
