"One reason for rounding up at 0.5 is that only the next digit is looked at to determine rounding direction. Therefore if one has 17.5245345 for example that is closer to 18 than 17. If one did not round up, at 0.5, they may round down to produce a less accurate result."
and i gave a similar example...rounding away from 0 is most accurate, so that is how i would do it. i think it is also the way most people do it, so it fits with tradition or whatever
