Just saying that's a concern that just doesn't resonate with those of us at or above tall height. The preening, the studying others, all these things necessary to be a cut above the other people with small type physique are actually communicating a signal in itself by making the gesture to that degree.

This is why models don't try to look or dress hot, they just are. Dressing nice is one thing but putting on the r/MFA uniform is a signal.

This reminds me of a phrase "he is smart when he applies himself". Well good for him, but there are people who are smart even when they aren't trying - and those are the smart people.

Intraday height variation and slight changes in posture mean that your height can't really be specified to the half inch.

This doesn't match my experience, because the nurses who've measured me specified it to the half inch, and they did it consistently.

I'm hoping the half was not maximum height measure

But five and a half inches is five inches.
