I _prefer_ to avoid it for reasons of game-play and flow, with the PSB
explanation of "mumble... relativistic speeds... mumble... Heisenberg...
mumble".  However, I also have the advantage of a "good eye", so I
wouldn't
object to an opponent pre-measuring as long as it wasn't too extreme. 
I'd
guess that it would be much more critical for players using cm rather
than
inches.
