You still seem to be acting as if version numbers of arithmetic decimal numbers which it is not. The period is nothing but a delimiter between a major and minor version number. Also, adding a second period is usually signifying that the 3rd number is a bug fix number. So saying to use 1.0.2 instead of 1.2 doesn't really make any sense.

Think of it this way: When you type out numbers from, say, one to ten do you type 01, 02, 03, 04, etc. or do you type 1, 2, 3, 4? Each number delimited in the version number major.minor.bugfix (or whatever format used) is a distinct integer value of its own it is not a fractional number just because it's after a decimal.

End of derail.
