Question 447317
It seems like the main flaw is that, if Jim obtains a B with a 79 average, then if there is someone with a 78 average that is aware of this, he will also ask the teacher for a B (since he is technically one point away from Jim's "B" grade). Then a student with a 77 average will ask for a B, and so on.


This is similar to saying that the statements "1 is approximately 1.001," "1.001 is approximately 1.002," ..., "999.999 is approximately 1000" imply that 1 is close to 1000.
