Rounding once may be okay but rounding multiple times and that errors add up. Astrophysics?! If im working with wood, i don’t care measuring to 0.1 mm and it might be okay in astrophysics to use 10 for pi, but that doesn’t make guessing your math correct in general.
Maybe we are doing things differently here in germany.
