Round figures

I never understand why people associate a lot with round figures...

Why is Sachin Tendulkar's 99 so different from his 100. Why can't people just talk about averages? Why do they talk about number of centuries, number of 5 wicket hauls? It is pretty weird.

I do understand that there should be milestones to chase and celebrate. But, why associate so much to a milestone?

Okay even I used to think like that.But when i started working and someone gives me a half working code, i curse and sigh. I realized that perfectionism in any field is important. The difference between 99 and 100 is just one,but it differentiats between a perfectionist and a wanna be perfectionist. Trust me, you sub consciously would like only a perfectionist though he might be a self conceited fool /nerd.
