No measured value will be perfectly precise, so it doesn't make sense to use that as a criteria for a system of measurement. You're never going to be able to cut a board to exactly 1/3 of a foot, so it doesn't matter that the metric value will be rounded a bit.
Not "a bit". You can have a 9x difference in precision and be unable to record it.
