Deep down he actually knows this and, much like some folks on Wall Street playing with rounding, he’s doing it with an agenda.

The whole reason this is an issue is that the application of math to real world situations is a subjective human decision (If I have exactly $4.52 in my pocket and I say "I have five dollars in my pocket" am I lying? Am I lying if I say four dollars? Are both of them lying?)

Just for fun. If I assume we naively round numbers, I would round up but I can't say rounding down is wrong. On the other hand, a reasonable assumption is to round to some value you can spend. You can pay a 4$ bus ticket but, you can't pay a 5 $ fare.
