It's basically taking the measurement of the area under a curve. The left does it in uniform chunks, and is often less accurate depending on delta x (the size of the chunks). The right effectively makes the size of the "chunks" infinitely small and gives a more accurate answer.
Simple version: Me: Close but either too much or too little potat removed. Mom: absolutely perfect with no skin and no wasted potat.
Sometimes when I'm peeling potatoes, I will peel more aggressively than even the version on the left, because sometimes I want the potatoes to look pretty.
