It's such a beautiful result as to be worth 
expression in more suggestive language:  cer-
tain measurements are in a dual relationship,
one manifestation of which is that there is
a precise lower bound on the accuracy of
their *simultaneous* determination.  The
analytic form of this leads immediately to 
the mathematics of, for example, signal com-
pression or image enhancement.

Metaphoric application to macroscopic phenomena
is, as Moshe notes, often overdone.
