Has anyone heard of cleaning numbers to make smaller files?

I need help resolving an issue at my workplace concerning prepping files.
Has anyone ever heard of cleaning your numbers on design files?
In other words…clicking on an image placed on the page whose coordinates are 5.0335…..and removing the last few decimal points so that it is a strait 5?
The whole purpose of this would be to have a smaller file size when making a PDF.
Right now I work at a company who insists that every single item placed on the page have clean coordinates/numbers.
Is this something that used to be done in the past? Is it a myth?
Is this a common prepress practice?
Someone please help! I have never heard of this practice and I am trying to argue my point.
