Correct.  The tolerance marking has nothing to do with how much
it may change over time.  That was Al's statement and he was (and
is) wrong.  Tolerance is a measure of the amount a given resistor
may vary during manufacture, period.

That is precisely what I said.  It is also where Al was precisely
wrong.
