Why would you question a standard practice that is used not only in the hobby but in most places where probes are used? When evaluating pH in a reef tank, the difference of .2 at the low end of the range can make a big difference. A two-point calibration reduces the risk of the reading being incorrect.If your buffer 7.0 is off by 0.5 and you do a 2 point calibration - this would not save your day.. In my example the 7.1 solution would 7.6 with single point calibration and 7.58 with 2 point calibration - how is that helping you?
