Can someone explain why R does this? Rounding max and mins on integer values seems extremely flawed.

Level 1: For tables with percentages, the general rule is to round to one decimal. For tables with absolute numbers, identify the smallest number, decide how many digits to keep for this number, and then round all other entries to those digits.
With traditional rounding, if the number has a value less than the half-way mark between the possible outcomes, it is rounded down; if the number has a value exactly half-way or greater than half-way between the possible outcomes, it is rounded up.
Default display precision is 4 digits. Use digits explicitly, e.g.:
