Dat Precision

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but I feel like four significant digits is more than acceptable.

That's a common representation error when using floating point numbers on modern computers. Internally the number is represented in binary, but unfortunately there is no exact binary representation of simple decimal numbers, like 0.1 or 0.2 (just like in decimal there is no exact representation of, for example 1/3; 0.333333333 is just an approximation). For more details yo can refer to http://floating-point-gui.de/basic/

In a more immediate sense, it's an indication that your CPU is gonna give up the ghost sometime soon if this happens to you a lot. Rounding like that is done locally for JavaScript, so if you get weird results, it's typically a problem on your end.
