Yes, I hate that kind of mindless exact translation of an approximate figure, "A miss is as good as 1.60934 kilometers," that sort of thing. A problem that also comes up with approximations like this:

THEM: "How many Xs have made it into the Y?"
YOU: "Pretty good. Almost a hundred."
THEM: "Last I heard it was 94. It must have gone up."
YOU (annoyed): "It is 94."
