Different fields, different standards. Mathematicians sob over a 99.9% accurate solution while cosmologists pop champagne when they're only off by a factor of 100,000. Meanwhile, some physics professor rounded π to 10 because... why not make circles easier? The precision spectrum in science ranges from "exact to 17 decimal places" to "eh, same galaxy, close enough." Next time your calculation is off, just switch fields!
