Indiscreet discrete mathematician checking in. If they said "exactly" we'd have a real problem. Instead, "precisely" in this context means "human eye cannot distinguish from exact value at a stone's throw."

Yes, physicists and engineers hate me, why do you ask?

"It's precisely 21 cm."

"Is it 21 cm?"

"No."
