Which real world is that?  In my real world 3/4 is 0 with a remainder
of 3.  What happens to that 3 depends on the context.  When I worked
with a youth soccer group I was pretty sure that I would be disciplined
if I carved up a seven year old player so that I could put 0.75 of a
child on a team.

Anyway, I'm sure that all these arguments have been made and it is
pointless to argue about it now.  It sounds like the decision has been
made.
