IBW formula has weird rounding
When I calculate the IBW for a male that is 72" tall myself, using the formula 50 + 2.3(12), I get an IBW of 77.6 kg.
This program produces an IBW of 77.7, using the same formula. What gives? It's a minor difference, but it doesn't make any sense.

This is a rounding error because we internally use centimeters in this place for technical reasons. I’ll increase the precision so this discrepancy goes away.
