  /- We cut `s` into the sets where `v.limRatioMeas hρ = 0`, where `v.limRatioMeas hρ = ∞`, and
    where `v.limRatioMeas hρ ∈ [t^n, t^(n+1))` for `n : ℤ`. The first and second have measure `0`.
    For the latter, since `v.limRatioMeas hρ` fluctuates by at most `t` on this slice, we can use
    `measure_le_mul_of_subset_limRatioMeas_lt` and `mul_measure_le_of_subset_lt_limRatioMeas` to
    show that the two measures are comparable up to `t` (in fact `t^2` for technical reasons of
    strict inequalities). -/
