Or he could know I was going to give him the .512 units, from prior experience, and not give .64, which is the whole point.

That assumes that he is following a different rule from the rule that you are following. Does knowing that he will give you the 0.64 units prevent you from giving him the 0.8 units?

Yes. Depending on the circumstance, I might give him much less or much more and/ or choose a different course of action entirely.
