Man. As for my bikes, Ive got better things to spend time on, frankly.
I'm all for accuracy and everything, but that figure is almost negligible
in a pre-built wheel. And I can be a persnickety bastid.

As old's'cool pointed out, a half mm is 0.02 inches, an easy error to see - and not much trouble to correct. On a built wheel, nothing to fret about, but on a wheel being built or trued - just take care of it.
