It's really more about the overall flavor of the spreadsheet than how "right" any individual field is.

Just like the Xerox copier/scanners that helpfully kept scanned images small by reusing parts of the image elsewhere. Like, all these 6s on your scanned invoices can totally be replaced with 8s. There's just a tiny degradation in the overall image, it shouldn't be a problem!

Xerox should have just called it AI compression and people would have been throwing money at them.

Especially on blueprints, these small file sizes are important. Doesn't matter if you replace these load bearing numbers with different ones, as long as the file is small
