- Accelerometers in common use today are ridiculously sensitive and accurate. With accurate data, near-absolute results can be calculated and verified
- The results from alternative testing systems successfully challenge the notion that test weights are necessary
- The A17 committee has language proposed that will allow this technology, assuming the proposal passes the consensus process
