The skill and precision - plural change by /and/

subject =the skill and precision
verb=are evidenced

the expression /... in that/ is preferred here, it qualifies the previous part --> the skills and precision of the ..., in that (OR- in measuring ...)
the skills and precision of the ..., to measure <-- signals one purpose, we aren't certain about the application; to+verb is rather an adjective to signal the purpose or to modify the subject

of course :)
There is a standard expression "in that". This expression is used to replace the word "because" when we are limiting the sentence with one, single, concrete, not causal relationship.
e.g. Because people smoke, they get tuberculosis.
compare with --> In that people smoke, they get tuberculosis.
It's clear that people may get tuberculosis not only from smoking when we use "because". While the use of "in that" limits the sentence to concrete relationship ~ People smoke-they get tuberculosis.

Here's the same issue, but instead of /that/ word in our expression "in that" we avail "in + noun (or gerund used as a noun)" = "in measuring"

If we don't use "in measuring" our intended meaning about "The skill and precision of the ancient people of the American Southwest, in measuring the movements of the Sun ..." gets lost and becomes causal with adjective form "to+verb"
compare with "The skill and precision of the ancient people of the American Southwest, to measure the movements of the Sun ...", plus "to+verb" as adjective modifying a noun and/or noun phrase may define not completed action too.

Thanks Night reader.!! I am clear about This question but still not clear about "in that" expression. When to use it, how to use it, how to identify it..etc etc.
