Human estimation of quantities is usually pretty unreliable. There is an entity known by the psychologists as JND or just noticeable difference. This is approx 25%.

If we are asked to match say two masses just using our sense of feel, then an agreement within 25% is to be expected. Similarly with heat and the brightness of a light.
