You are right!

I mean, only kinda, it's just closer to round, but ultimately it's about convention and practical use (eg with human age we round down, or even if eg someone was running "a 4.9k" and stopped some 20m before the finish line).

It's def not a mistake, either of the figures. But I do like when people point such things to me (genuinely, it's engagement).
