I've been watching a National Geographic mini-docuseries today and there's a peculiar trait of its narration that I find particularly irritating:

It's its unwaiving dedication to arbitrary precision followed by imprecision.

For example, this commentary describing a seal:

"Weighing up to 113 kg [arbitarily precise], the Spotted Seal has a relatively small body, measuring just over one and a half meters [imprecision]."

This pattern is repeated for every animal they showcase.
