I want to wholeheartedly believe the caliper has the size the customer wants and the pipe is bigger, therefore inappropriate. I've never met anyone who would use a caliper this way, I've seen people trying to eyeball it or use it as a ruler but not like this

It's gotta be something like that, like the photo is presented out of context, the alternative is too depressing

could be that they saw somebody use fancier calipers that have a gauge thing on the other side and managed not to remember it looks different
