@math argument,
I'm beyond certain that there is no defined rounding practice, it all depends on the rounder and what they want to achieve. There are three types of rounding: 1) To the nearest multiple of 'n', 2) Rounding down to a multiple of 'n', and 3) Rounding up to a multiple of 'n'. Normally 'n' is 1 but it can be 0.5 or any other rational number honestly.
As far as I know the only thing you can't choose to do when rounding is round to an irrational number ...well I suppose you could manually but I don't know how you would go about figuring out a formula for it.
@topic,
First let me say this is a silly topic, and it doesn't matter, but equally silly is the idea that "because they didn't want to give it a 10 it must be rounded down". Does that mean if you win a bunch of money and they want to only give you 9.9M but decide they want to give a more even number that they should lop off the 900k?
The real reason this isn't a big deal is because they did it to all of the games, any rationalization or discussion about "why" they rounded OoT down specifically is ignoring the fact that it was done entirely by shrinking the field the numbers were stored in in a cold and uncaring truncation process with very little if any emotion, thought, or care put into it. It just was, now stop trying to rationalize it.
