    I wouldn't change the calculations on the test.  A couple of options would be to change them to warnings rather than errors or to change the message on the error to be IGNORE THIS so you can see them in the log easily.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the idea, I did not know we could change those. Yes, I think it'll work - just haven't found how to do it yet 😉

    The best for me would be to:
    Trigger error if the difference is > .02  and trigger a warning if difference is =<.02 this way I could be able to find a bigger difference that would indicate another issue on top of the existing one!

    I will look into it and report back. Thanks.
