overestimate, inaccurate, impractical and confusing for people expecting correctly rounded value.

dec() is designed to show exact conversion, http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-3571.html

Why call dec() to get exact conversion, and then complain about it, for doing exact conversion ?
When using dec(), user should expect exact result, not rounded value.

BTW, a correctly rounded value meant round-up value (because CAS drop last 5 bits)
For above case, shortest decimals = 3.14159265358979 = original CAS float
