  The example of the weight of a Robin may have been backwards. It could be that the reference was the weight in grams which was then converted to ounces, with rounding.

  One that bothers me is "fake" precision when a writer has converted some units and not considered the original precision - and on the internet this is just the start of a broken-telephone game. E.g some article about power generation starts with "12 Gigajoules" (probably +/- .1GJ) then is converted to "3.33 MWh", inevitably, this is either converted back a suspiciously accurate value of "11.8 Gigajoules" or someone doesn't understand the difference between MWh and MW and butchers it even and we get some completely ficticious value
