  Jim .... anything that is measured has a resolution of measurement. The resolution of the measurement is determined by the significant figures of the value.  
  
  What you and Stan are doing is assuming the zeros are there ... without writing them or acknowledging them.  That's ok as long as everyone agrees that's what's happening (unsaid). 
  
  If I say the cost overrun by the govt was $6B ... I think most people understand that doesn't mean the cost overrun was exactly $6,000,000,000.00. 
  
  One value has an sig-fig of 1 place and the other of 12 places .. the later resolved to the penny. $6B can have a large variation.  Say it was a $6.1B overrun ... you narrow the variation (a higher resolution of the value). 
  
  Anyway ...I don't know how to say it any better than that.

  Agree with your thoughts and Frank's addition. Your proper course is the course you would sail to get around the course as quickly as possible in the absence of the other boat referred to in the rule. In the absence of boat Y, boat X would have luffed up to clear the pin, as Frank said. So that is her proper course.
