Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

The real shower thought was about movement across the highest speed we know of at the minimum distance we know of, so I divided Planck length by the speed of light.

Except observation would be limited by perception, and we definitely can't perceive the speed of light across a planck length. Even the tools we use to measure these things are just measurements, not direct observations.
