    These have nothing to do with exact indices. That concept is useless. They have to do with how the player will estimate the remaining cards for the TC calc. This function exists for both the generator and simulators.

    I round. Not because it's "better". Because that's the way my mind works. But, it's clear from this thread people count in many ways. Having talked to a rather large number of counters over the decades -- that's hardly a surprise.
