When 2015 Corvette C7 Z06 aftermarket "power brokers" cannot handle grade school level math

Here is one, straight from the ever popular Youtube and it is right down embarrassing, unless someone practices the same kind of math as +Tadge Juechter does?

Although the title of this little video on Youtube clearly states

LMR C7 Z06 Stage III First 1/4 pass 10.0 ET

the track read out shows 10.083 sec.

Here is the general rule for number rounding:
 
  1. If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up. Example: 38 rounded to the nearest ten is 40.
  2. If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round the number down. Example: 33 rounded to the nearest ten is 30.
 
 
Thus, for anyone outside of kool aid drinking Corvette nuthuggers and fine aftermarket tuners like this Late Model Racecraft and kool aid drinking GM nut hugging masses this time would be clearly 10.1 instead of that 10.0...
 
A side note:  RACECRAFT is a very peculiar choice of name for a car company since the word happened to define a sociological condition, referring to an illusion of race/aritificially created race (like in a group of humans) but then again, what to be expected from someone who cannot figure out how to round numbers?
 
The real question here is: can the aftermarket tuners handle somewhat more complex tuning algorithms in light of their grade school roundling skills?  LOL...
