I Think Someone Stole My 0.01 Hz
Looking at those monitor refresh rates is like watching your paycheck after taxes. 239.99 Hz down to 239.97 Hz? Great, there goes my 0.02 Hz. Probably lost in some floating point rounding error along with my will to debug it. And don't get me started on that 120 Hz that's actually 119.88 Hz.

Next time he'll submit a detailed product requirements document with model numbers and hyperlinks. That's how you learn to communicate with engineers in the wild.
