Ok, so my use of precision is not precise :) We are
stumbling over words here.
What would you call the level of detail used for presentation, if not
"precision"?
I would call them significant digits, Wikipedia seems to prefer the
lemma
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures -- both will do
and have the same concept. But accuracy and precision are
interpretations of this, and there are more flexible ways to express
these other than through significant digits/figures like an upper or
lower value. But the two things are not the same. I think it is not an
overcomplication to provide both for significant digits and for
precise upper and lower interval.
