Some people, especially the folks who make power resistors, tend to ignore the "E" series, and make things like 50 ohm 10% resistors.
We, like a lot of people lately, prefer to use only 1% resistors, the E96 series.
We avoid leading zeroes and small integer values, too. Like your

OK, here's a more difficult question:
Why do 16" diameter flour tortillas come in packages of 10 that weigh
3.20 lbs?Why is it so important for a flour tortilla to weigh 0.32 lbs +/- 0.05 lbs?
That comes out to be 5.12 oz or 145.3 gms.

The weight is not important, the ability to see the loss in weight is. Less weight = more dry.

A much more serious question is why hand tools come in packaging that requires a cutting torch to open, while light bulbs are sold in the flimsiest cardboard known to man.

Except for CFLs. A while back (when they were still $10 each) I had one whose plastic packaging seemed to be bomb-proof. I slit along one edge, and as I struggled to free the little beastie, it launched itself skyward and self-destructed when it hit the dining room table. This was definitely a case of "ten dollars a pop"... with a real "pop" !

I use my *band saw* to get into modern blister packs. I slice open three sides. It's fast, easy and noisy. What's not to like?
