Obviously, the numbers are both approximate and rounded-up in every
case. It would not make much sense otherwise, as there are too many
variables in play. I have been pointing this out for years already.
See, for example,
<http://groups.google.com/group/rec.food.cooking/msg/86039e1fc8a35833>.
By the way, all the conversions in the rfc cook.book had been done using
similar charts and approximations.
