    I think I had a strict maths teacher. But they told us upfront how to convert units and how to do the rounding. So there were no ambiguities.

    But I’ve also come to the conclusion that humans can handle numbers up to the ten or hundred thousands as well. We mostly do that instead of converting past kilo. And even textbooks say the sun is on average 150 million kilometers away.
