Granularity or Resolution? Editorial Clarification #77

Closed nbates closed 9 years ago

1) 2.4.2: "L2 and L3 each decrease the device’s inherent time measurement granularity."

We think if granularity decreases, it gets more fine granular - and therefore it should be "increase" in this sentence. I'm not sure whether that may be an ambiguous understanding of "increasing granularity" - possibly "increase resolution" may be less ambiguous.
