I would think that method would actually make more since, especially to an aviator helicopter pilot, as that is similar to how numbers/radio frequencies are called out over aviation communications. (I think they say “point” instead of “decimal”, though, but I could be wrong.) Keeping things consistent to the way pilots normally do things could prevent a lot of confusion.
