@kwcollins all of the options are 'false' -- there's 'false' precision or there's an intentional loss of precision due to rounding. the question is which falsehood is more dangerous for the consumer, one that yields misinterpretation or one that risks overconfidence. — PolitiTweet.org

@kwcollins i'm agnostic on the tradeoff. we round like everyone else; the downside of precision is fairly straightforward. but i see a lot of pollsters treating this like a borderline ideological question and seem blind to the idea that there's a real trade off — PolitiTweet.org
