Yes, if it means you'll be using small numeric values, like say x = 10 in meters rather than x = 10000 in mm. But the only thing that matters is the number itself, that you're using less digits in the number values.

Well there is an automatic mechanism that adjusts calculation tolerance to be a percentage of the object size so it adapts to the current object being operated on. But that's a somewhat different issue than losing fractional precision in arithmetic because of larger numeric values being used in coordinates.
