That's pretty much what I was thinking as well. It's funny and an enjoyable read, but at the same time it's a complete non-issue. Unless you have some application that chokes on that many decimal places AND can't do any sort of input sanitation, why worry about it?

I thought it was a measured opinion (no pun intended), and interesting too.

It reminds me of my high school science class, where the teacher complained we were copying too many digits from the calculator. Apparently significant figures were part of the curriculum. But then of course many people ended up rounding too early...
