Our money system is accurate to 2 digits simply because that's the smallest coin the government mints. The "accuracy" of money is completely arbitrary.
Whatever the reason, arbitrary or not, you said that 14 does not equal 14.0 and I just gave you a concrete example to the contrary. Sorry if it's not convenient.

Getting back to the thread, shot clocks are accurate to units, ie any measurement smaller than that is not valid.
What does that even mean, "not valid"? They don't exist? Or we simply don't care about them? Because I agree that we don't care about them, as I've said. And I think that the rulemakers don't care about them, as I've said. But the shot clock is measuring them, whether they are displayed or not. For that reason, I think the rule should read "If the shot clock displays 14 seconds or less. . .". As I've said.

Do you think that every measurement is accurate to tenths of units or better?
I don't have any idea whatsoever.
