geraki added a comment. @daniel The default uncertainty value is not bad only for //population//. I is also bad for atomic number (P1086), number of masts (P1099), seating capacity (P1083), HDI value (P1081), total quantity produced (P1092). number of cylinders (P1100), floors above ground (P1101), votes received (P1111) etc. In fact I don't see many properties with the //number// data-type where a (default or not) level of uncertainty does make sence.
It is better (for the nuber datatype) to be precision unknown or precision unspecified as default . Leave third party applications to choose if they actually need to apply a default level of uncertainty, if it is needed for a specific context.
