Title: Comment on "Can we measure structures to a precision better than the Planck length?", by Sabine Hossenfelder
Authors: Sergio Doplicher, Gherardo Piacitelli, Luca Tomassini, Stefano Viaggiu

First principles do imply a non-zero minimal distance between events in spacetime, but no positive lower bound to the precision of the measurement of a single coordinate.

Title: Can we measure structures to a precision better than the Planck length?
Authors: Sabine Hossenfelder

It was recently claimed that the Planck length is not a limit to the precision by which we can measure distances, but that instead it is merely the Planck volume that limits the precision by which we can measure volumes. Here, we investigate this claim and show that the argument does not support the conclusion.
