If you are saying that the imprecision inherent in rounding up the numbers would show as a visible difference in lightness, I doubt that, mainly because the imprecision is so small that the effect would likely not be readily visible, or would not make a difference in practical terms.

Also, since there is no way either to input or view decimal values in 8 bits in Photoshop, how would you exactly know whether the rounded-up number is 50.2 or 49.8?
