Or he was an ignorant cook, had been reading a recipe which called for meat 1/10 inch thick, and thought that that part of the recipe had to be exact.
Cookbooks aren't usually as helpful as they could be: they rarely state which measurements need to be exact (some baking or confectionary measurements) and which are approximations (most stovetop or 'kitchen bench only' recipes).
