For anyone else using reasonable units that’s 198,12 cm and 154,94 cm respectively.
for everyone who actually uses metric, that’s 198 cm, and 155 cm respectively :)
That’s what I said.
nobody is measuring people to a tenth of a millimeter.
No, but it doesn’t matter. I just provided the exact measurements because I was copy pasting anyways.
When the original value is only precise to plus or minus half an inch, it makes no sense whatsoever to do a conversion that’s a hundred times more precise.
It’s more precise and took no extra effort. 🤷
Why is it bothering you so much?
It’s not more precise, it becomes inaccurate.
A man says he’s 6’6". Sure. If he’s anywhere between 6’5½" and 6’6½", that’s true.
You say he’s 198.12cm tall. The range of this being true is now thinner than a needle. It has gone far beyond what anyone actually measures. In over 99% of cases, it’s not true, and if it is, it won’t be for long, because the human body isn’t nearly that consistent from breath to breath.
The conversion with spurious false precision has made the number go from true to not true.
The man is six foot six, yes, true. The man is 198.12cm - no he isn’t.
It really doesn’t though.
This is exactly right. 👏🏼
4channers who blame their lack of muff action on their diminutive height are.
yeah and i said it better :)
If you actually contributed by providing the information to begin with I would agree.
Are you just being stubborn, or do you really still not understand why adding too many decimal places / significant figures is wrong?
I just copy pasted. Deal with it.
Sounds like you know you were wrong but are just being stubborn.
if you just didnt add the decimals i wouldn’t have done it better. So, i would concur there as well.
that’s too many significant figures
Nah.
I’m impressed you were able to convert the Oreos! 😉
