>> Having more zeros does not equal to being more "precise" Isn't having more decimal places the exact definition of precision (vs accuracy)?

  The point is that those decimal places don't have to be zeros. 7.893 is just as precise as 8.001.

    Yet for some reason unknown to me, people get annoyed when you tell them „let us meet at 13:37. that is no more accurate than let us meet at 14:00 hours”

      14:00 is a Schelling point

      1. It's easier to remember. 2. Do you actually say fourteen-zero-zero or just fourteen? If the latter, that's your answer right there.
