I believe that even experienced user might get caught by surprise, i.e. in case
of a spreadsheet used for an invoice, which I think is a prominent example
because in an invoice you certainly want to use the numbers **as displayed**.
Because it depends on the actual numbers currently used whether there will be a
different outcome on summing up numbers that "invisible to the user" carry more
decimal places than can be seen on display.  

This is why I wrote in comment #1 "the indication should only appear if the
result at hand differs from a result that would result if the displayed rounded
values were used for calculation." I think this would be a useful hint for
everybody, even if he/she in theory knows the pitfalls.
