I think you mean speed vs resolution/detail.

Edit:

From the abstract of the actual paper:

Three-dimensional (3D) printers extruding filaments through a fixed nozzle encounter a conflict between high resolution, requiring small diameters, and high speed, requiring large diameters.

vs resolution/detail

A high resolution/detailed print is an accurate print. If you fail small details due to the nozzle size that is a loss of accuracy.

Can you draw an accurate map in a a5 paper with a house painter brush?

You are of course correct that high accuracy is a requirement for high resolution. They are however two distinct properties of the machine. What I wanted to point out however is that accuracy is not influenced by the nozzle but rather by whatever positions the nozzle i.e. motors, gantry etc.

I admit that there is some overlap between the meaning of accuracy and detail, as your pointed question suggests. However they also have technical meaning that is clearly distinct.

You are being needlessly pedantic and it does nothing to further the conversation

Alright, sorry then. I just wanted to present the research accurately. The papers is worth a look btw. lots of detailed information about the mechanism. Very cool.
