Yes, that would get rid of the decimals... but it wouldn't get rid of
the extraneous precision. Unfortunately, the precision out to the ten
thousandth is noise... I don't need to round it either as the numbers
are artifacts of an integer to float conversion. Basically, I need to
know how many decim
Multiply them by 1 ?
