kaldari added a comment. @Yellowcard: I agree with you in most cases. Most numbers in Wikidata should probably be considered exact values (per https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T68580) and should not have any assumed uncertainty. Numbers for measurements, however, have to have some assumed uncertainty. I think the problem is that this bug is really conflating several different bugs:
1. The Quantity datatype should probably be an exact value datatype (i.e. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T68580) 2. There should be a new datatype called Measurement which has units and assumed uncertainty/precision (the current behavior of Quantity) 3. The assumed uncertainty of Measurements should be half the resolution (+/- 0.5 for whole numbers), not equal to the resolution (+/- 1) Would you agree with all of those points? What's your opinion @daniel?
