Precisely what I was thinking.

I looked at a digital thermometer in Radio Shack. It had been in the store 
long enough to stabilize. It showed indoor and outdoor temperatures to a 
precision of 0.1 degree. The indoor and outdoor readings differed by about 
a degree. So now we know the accuracy, and the precision was therefore 
worthless.
