I'd rather fail on the side of anal retentiveness, than publish so gross values, that they're of little value to users. 4- place accuracy is seen across the literature. Five doesn't hurt anything. Bankers take it out to 13- decimal places every day.  |
If you don't see any problem in expanding the number of decimal places from an original measurement, maybe you'd better check some basic engineering textbooks?
