Hi Mecki,
I actually wonder if this "feature" is flavour specific?
Pick didn't use floating point arithmetic and IIRC the default
precision used to be 4.
PRECISION affects the number of decimal places in the result when converting
a floating point value to a character string. All internal arithmetic
operations are performed at the precision of the underlying hardware.
Applying precision at each arithmetic operation would introduce "cumulative
rounding errors".
