Because "rounding by the thousand" is the correct statistical way of presenting such estimated numbers. It is completely irrelevant how "the formula works". If you have access to a statistics bureau/university teacher, they can explain it to you. All this circles around is presenting data with an accuracy that does not exist 8as we have just witnessed).
@ultraslick Exactly my thoughts.
