For all practical purposes very high agreement with experiments and tend to be very useful for all practical purposes. For all practical purposes For all practical purposes (FAPP) is a pragmatic approach towards the problem of incompleteness of every scientific theory and the usage of asymptotical approximations. When a physicist makes an approximation - which can not be justified on rigorous grounds - he or she may attempt to justify it by saying the results obtained are good for all practical purposes (FAPP). Meaning they agree with our experience and approximation errors cannot be detected in practical measurements (for instance, if the error is
