It's just of weird, and interesting.
I think it was Emily who said she wanted a scale that showed weight to the nearest 1/10th of a pound. I think maybe rounding to the nearest pound would be better for some of us. Seeing 142, 142, 142, 141 would harder to obsess over.
I love this article on how water dominates what is shown on the scale and how you need to use a moving average to see weight loss: http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/e4/signalnoise.html
So yes, the fractions of a pound are basically irrelevant. But I still got excited when I was 105.8 rather than 106!
