Hello,
Ricky Tigg's original message was sent to coreutils@HIDDEN
(not to bug-coreutils@HIDDEN), and did not create a new bug report:

This is of course absolutely fine - but PLEASE keep the same mailing
list when replying (e.g. don't reply to bug-coreutils@HIDDEN if
the message was sent to coreutils@HIDDEN).

That is not likely to change.
The printing code uses a common function (human_readable) that is used
in several other coreutils programs, and the convention is to print up
to 3 digits (or 2 digits with one decimal point).
Examples:
1.1 KB
11 KB
111 KB
11 MB
111 MB
1.1 GB
11 GB
111 GB
1.1 TB
The exact number of bytes is printed at the beginning of the line,
and you can use 'numfmt' to format it to your liking:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/zero bs=1M count=10 2>&1 \
| tail -n1 | numfmt --to=si --format '%2.5f'
10.48576M bytes (10 MB, 10 MiB) copied, 0.00315612 s, 3.3 GB/s

An interesting idea.
I couldn't find previous discussion about it, so I'll mark this item
as a "wishlist".
As always, patches are welcomed.

I don't understand the above - can you clarify ?

Nahhhhh....
Implies more accuracy than there is.
Use 2-3 digits for reporting. That way it can be displayed as
2-3 digits, if choice. If value is between 2 endpoings, choose the
one that keeps the most bits, like 23.5->23, 34.5->35, basically round
to odd.
