I mean, technically he's right. If it truely were simply a 15/32" conversion it would have worked out to roughly 11.9mm.

Either they converted it wrong, or it wasn't originally 15/32"

Otherwise they would have stated 11.9mm instead of 11.7mm

when someone asks for folks to correct them if they;re wrong, why do others feel the need to say something about the correction? piss off.

"Correct me if I'm wrong" usually means one of two things;

  1. correct me if I'm wrong enough to make a material difference, or if it means my guidance would cause a problem if not corrected

  2. correct me if I'm wrong which I'm not, but I'm trying to be polite about it.

Do you understand how small 0.008" is? A human hair is 0.003".

You're literally splitting hairs just so you can walk around pretending you're clever.

I think you should explain that you're OCD - like Rainman - to everyone, 'cause at this point you're just a jerk.
