When I studied engineering at Northwestern in the 70's, I had professors who pushed back at anyone more than one or two digits of accuracy in a calculated result, with one professor assigning homework assignments that may have no solution.

I finally found it: a photo of me conducting a pickup orchestra consisting of engineering students from my dorm at Northwestern University.
I literally found it in the last place I looked, but that is, of course, always true.
