This doesn't make sense to me. A population count is a count, not a 
measurement. It doesn't have uncertainty. It will never be converted to other 
units. It may be totally wrong, but that's different than measurement 
uncertainty/precision. Even if it is an estimate, the estimate is still a 
specific number, unless an uncertainty is provided. I would strongly argue that 
a population should be considered an "amount" or "number", rather than a 
quantity with precision.
