This is quite simple, actually. People have people brains, and have great difficult with numerical concepts that require the ability to add and subtract using anything other than their fingers. Since they only have eight fingers and two thumbs to work with, and no parts of fingers, they had to come up with a method of mathematics that allowed for their shortcomings when it comes to parts of numbers and they invented the concept of "rounding up."
Now, this works for them, but let me tell you something, when I have a treat and it's broken and I only have .999 of it, it is not one whole treat, no matter what they say!
About Max
Max Thompson, other wise known as the Psychokitty, has been blogging about his view on the human condition at The Psychokitty Speaks Out and is also the author of several popular books.
Because his email frequently overflowed (fine, 2 or 3 letters a week) asking for his particular pearls of wisdom, he decided to make it easier for the masses to share in his feline font on knowledge.
So go ahead. Ask him a question. He'll answer almost anything.
