Or maybe you guys are using a different kind of math....

Or MAYBE we work to such small tolerances that "tenths" in machining
jargon
means "tenth of a thousanth".

"Tenth" could be 1/10 of an inch, foot, mile, or in this case Mil:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/mil
"a unit of length equal to one thousandth of an inch"

A mil (or mill) is also 1/1000 of a dollar:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_(currency)
"Additionally, in finance the term is spelled "mil".

Under "Fiction" notice that Japanese isn't the only language with a
word for 10,000.
