I noticed that score for BOINC combined is calculated by adding all projects credits including fractions of the full credit (for example if one project has 78.56 then 0.56 part is also added with other projects fractions of the full credit). When all projects are added then the final score is rounded to the closer integer (example... 58,598.76 is rounded to 58,599).

Now, my question is wouldn't it be more consistent if the total score will be rounded to the value of achieved integer (in my example 58,598.76 to 58,598)? It seems to me that this will be more consistent to the way credits for particular projects are expressed in our sigs (in project levels credits are always represented with the achieved integer... 789.89 will be 789 for project level stats, not 790).

Thanks
