| Viper1 said: The rounding of the figures is not required to exemplify the status of the figures as an estimation. Rounding is a method of simplifying information to ensure easier digestion of said information. It also works as a shortcut for those computing them. I find the fact that Ioi doesn't partake in the shortcuts as a means of care in ensuring figures are as detailed as they can be. Besides, why approximate something that is already an estimate? |
It is not required, you are correct. It however, is a means that is often being used to show that those numbers are estimates. In my work, someone will hit you very hard if you put in a presentation that for a task, 121,322 mandays are estimated.
It is not a means for easier digestion. a number is a number. it is a mean that you yourself admit it is an estimate.
Answer: because it is an estimate.
