As you point out it depends on the tool used. I have a metal ruler with metric on one side and imperial on the other. Millimeters are more granular than fractions of an inch, and it seems like so many measurements go somewhere in between the 1/16th inch markers but are closer to the mm markers. I don't own any calipers...
There are no solutions, only trade-offs.
