I believe it is more than appropriate for Engineering.
Maybe not for Physics or Mathematics.

There is a difference between approximate and damn sloppy.
Do you know what a slide rule is?

I have a K&E LogLog duplex VersaTrig, do you have a slide rule? It
normally provides 2 to 2-1/2 digits accuracy (~0.5%); much better than
just about 1 digit (10%)
The tailor has his scissors, the plumber has his wrench, what was the
distinctive tool of the engineering trade before pocket calculators?

A mind. As said by another here," Engineering is the art of making what
want out of what you have."

Where do you put the limit? Should'nt it be related to the application?
It seems that you lack the basic understanding of the trade.

Yes, because engineers are the only ones using it.

want out of what you have."

Exactly. If you are driving and you hear on the radio the forecasted
temperature expressed in an idiotic unit of measure, what do you do?
Pull over and start your calculations or get a cold?
