Proportions, Pitfalls and Pendulums.
Micceri, Theodore
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v50 n4 p769-74 Win 1990

The use of fractional (percentage) uncertainties for physical or any other measurements results in other problems. Means of dealing with associated problems of standardization are discussed. (TJH)
