That's enough precision.
mBTC is also a new unit. Thousandth of one BTC. What I'm saying is , we don't have to always break this way.
Yes, mBTC is standard, and some fancy name would help in mBTC adoption.
I've just explained the other way, which is also kind of 'metric'.
1.05 million, 1.05 billion, 1.05 trillion, etc. is just to adjust with base 21M units.
