I suspect you may have mistaken me for the first poster in this comment chain. I never disagreed with your statement that precision is not a factor, I was clarifying only that they are not totally interchangeable. Interchangeable in relative measure yes, easy to convert in absolute measure yes, equally precise yes, but they are different things, albeit extremely similar.
I literally used the term precision in every post, it’s what my initial is about, and you’re just now telling me that’s not what you were talking about? Also my first post I did not say they were perfectly interchangeable, I pointed out there is no loss of precision, and explicitly noted that you have to include the offset.
So now I’m confused as to why you chimed in at all.
