You make a good point. Put another way, in math, adding "about 2" plus
2.00000001 does not give you 4.00000001. The correct answer is "about
4". 

In audio, there are so many "about 2s" in the chain that it always
amuses me that some people can spend so much time polishing the tiny
number to the right of the decimal but be perfectly accepting of so many
"abouts". That's probably human nature -- it just feels good to think
that  -something- is within your control.
