Showing values and adjusting values in increments finer than 0-255 are very different things, and clearly if the latter were possible we'd get the former, but do we really know what extent of "internal precision" is now programmed into Photoshop and with what ease or difficulty that could be amended?

Very likely yes.
But the point is to be able to pick one's preferred level of precision in *reading* the actual values (integer, decimal, level in 15 or 16 bits, etc.). After all Photoshop is a professional tool, and I think of this capability as one that ought to be made available to professionals. And the cost of implementing it would be insignificant (what does it cost to show the actual values in decimals of an *already existing* internal precision?).
The *internal* precision in Photoshop wouldn't change, nor would it need to: but we would be able to discriminate more finely among values that otherwise would seem equal when they are rounded up to the nearest integer in a 0-255 or 0-100 scale.
By the way, Illustrator is *already* able to show values in CMYK and Grayscale vector objects with *two decimal points of precision*! So, go figure why that is not to be found in Photoshop, and in RGB color mode as well...

Agreed. And I'd like to have the precision to be able to more easily match tints between Photoshop and other applications.
