Being strictly mathematical about it ...

-- A point has a definition, but 'dots' and 'specks' don't, so it's kind of hard to

compare them.

-- A point is only a location. It has no dimensions ... no length, width, height,

thickness, diameter, area, volume, etc. No measurements at all.

-- So nothing can be smaller than a point.

-- If a dot or a speck have any size at all ... and maybe they do because you're

talking about things that are bigger or smaller than other things ... then a point

must be the smallest one of all, because it has no size at all and I dare you to

get any smaller than that.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
