"It's the same as buying a 2x4. Its not really 2x4."
Not quite. A 2x4 has a valid excuse for not being 2x4. It was a "rough cut" 2x4. After they smoothed out the sides, it is no longer that dimension.
6 x 12 should be 6 x 12, within 1 mm, because it is ALL metric these days, and they don't speak inches.
5 7/8 x 11 7/8 called 6 x 12, IS a rip off.
