How does this limit precision?	An inch (in the real world) is defined 
to be precisely 25.4 mm (or 2.54 cm). 

 ________________

and a foot is equal to 30cm or 300mm. a foot is equal to 12 inches. an inch is 2.54cm. a foot is 30.48cm, ergo 30cm "is equal to" 30.48cm.

at least insert the word "approximately" between "is" and "equal."
