If we have a 500x500mm block, the distance of the faces of that block

If the tolerance on the flatness of the block is 3 of 4 microns,
that's 0.0012% to 0.0016%, which exceeds your parameters.
If the tolerance on the parallelism of the block is 5 microns, you
just meet your criterion of 0.001% for parallelism only.

The tolerance % of one surface point compared with the opposing point
as measured from the center is a fraction of the *total* distance -
not half the distance. The tolerance is a comparison between opposing
surface points, not between one surface point and the distance to the
center.

However, unless there is *NO* tolerance on flatness, your criterion
cannot be met, as deviations in flatness will reduce the "reflective
symmetry".

So these blocks do *NOT* meet your criteria.

Try again.

You're reaching for straws now. But, if it will make you feel
better, I'll reduce the tolerance level by 10 fold to 0.01% for my
criteria - just so there will be a few more real true positives that
actually exist for which not even you can possibly argue otherwise
(Yes, I do know that's a stretch of faith given your history is what
it is). It doesn't make a hill of beans difference as far as the
point I'm trying to make here. Each increase in tolerance
requirements only increases the positive predictive value of this
particular ID test. The pattern is obvious well before we get even
*remotely* close to these degrees of tolerance. That's the whole
point. But, of course, this simple concept flies right over your head
- as usual.
