It's marketing logic!
251 feet = "NEARLY 300 FEET!"
249.5 feet = "OVER 249 FEET!"

Yep, that's marketing measurement for ya! It's the same logic that prices gasoline at $1.79 and 9/10 cents a gallon instead of a $1.80, and why a car with a base model price of $19,995 before tax or shipping is advertised as "starting under $20,000!" :frown:
