Imagine decision is extremely hard and you have no coice but to make it, because Russians are pointing gun to your peace nobel prize winner. You are leaning towards a choice, and AI confirms it with 50.000000001% - you can sleep as president of United States of America a littlbe better as AI, which is amazing with proccessing huge amount of data (better than human), agrees with you.
 
Best,

Actually, I would interpret any result in the 35% to 65% range as "I
don't know", and use my own judgement.

AI is the last place I would expect big floats. Even 32 bits is often
more than needed, hence the common use of 16 bit floats in AI.
