You can see this was made by an American.

Because why would the European use decimals for their own height? Just so it rounds to the nearest inch? Unlikely.

Particularly one who doesn't understand significant figures. Are you certain that you're precisely 74.000 inches, without even a thousandth of an inch of rounding? If not, you don't get to use 5 sigfigs when converting.

I thought the joke was that the bald guy only accepts "n feet m inches" (0 ≤ m < 12) and any other format is not allowed
