I find that specifics (especially when dealing with numbers) adds a certain amount of authenticity to your writing. Round numbers are good, and have their place, but a specific number is more convincing and believable. Of course, it's pretty easy to pull a random number out of thin air, but that's besides the point! :-) Great post!
