    I know that. But practically, if you are trying to measure 1/3 of an arbitrary distance, or 1/3 of an arbitrary weight, you are not going to be able to hit the exact, precise measurement using normal household or kitchen tools. Therefore your origin assertion that 1/3 as a fraction is more accurate than decimal is meaningless, as you can’t actually utilise that extra precision.



  • An operating system isn’t a car or a machine that needs to maintain running hours for optimal performance. If I have an operating system that I only need for one specific function, and only use it for that function, once or twice a month, there is no reason that that operating system should fail to do the one thing I need it to do every time I turn it on.
