I see this in my own shop. Digital displays instill people with greater confidence in the measurement than is warranted. This is something of a UI fail, as the tool manufacturer (Mitutoyo) has very clearly defined measurement precision for all their metrology equipment (+- 0.001" and 0.0015" for the calipers).
