Ha, no, the world isn't falling apart over height boards, just falling apart over other things.

The attached photo of a height board and a ruler next to it sort of explains what I mean by my faulty height board hypothesis. I centimeter isn't a centimeter over the bumps where the boards fit together. I assume these varies by brand/make.

I like your ideas about comparing earlier and later measurements within the same survey and checking on equipment in different surveys.
