OK, got it.
FWIW the precision ($1) used by the estimate conveys *to me* the
message that this is an accurate number. I would feel different if
I read "we have received more than $95 000" instead of "we have
received $98 579". I'm mentioning this more for next time than wrt.
the already published blog post, of course: it's a learning process :)
