I've never understood the "precision" argument. Does it matter whether
it's 70, 71, or 72 F ? I suppose 31, 32, and 33 F are more significant.

I've seen digital thermometers that show an extra digit (.1 degree).
However, this additional precision is useless because of the limited
accuracy. They seem to be taking advantage of the fast that a lot of
people don't know the difference.
