Jc3s5h added a comment. If the least significant digit is m time ten to the nth power, I would set the default uncertainty to 5 times ten to the nth power, which is the greatest uncertainty that might apply in that situation. If the uncertainty were any worse, the person who wrote the value should have used fewer significant digits. In other words, the default should be the worst reasonable uncertainty; let the editor specify if the error is better than this.
