@xris That is slightly different and is a source of another line of rants of mine.
First of all, when you are dealing with past events, they are known and are not estimates. Reporting them with both precision and accuracy is desirable. Excessive precision is quirky, but not wrong; reporting an estimate of a future event with false precision is wrong.
OTOH reporting a past event with poor approximation invariably annoying and often wrong (both in its model and its implementation).
