In a survey does an increase in rounding errors in estimators a problem? As long as there's no bias in how they get rounded we should be fine. If there is such a bias I'm curious what it is and what causes it.
I suspect it would have a strong bias towards obvious fractions and obvious multiples. That isn't a directional bias, but it's an anti-precise bias.
