First, I disagree with your claim, you're making the margin of error for such an example far too small. It is perfectly fine to say "just above" in this instance. This is a "rule of thumb" example with a wide margin of error (such as the "take a step" one above), not a precise calculation.

Second, the loss of a head (figuratively, not literally) close to negates the excess.
