I swear, reading comprehension here is abysmal.
The tool factor comes not from checking the altimeter setting. I think we can all agree that altimeter setting are important. The toolishness comes from being astounded that it moved .01 from the ATIS and being offended that the announced altimeter setting varied from the setting given on the ATIS.
Sheesh,

You might be right. But if you're right the unknown guy who said "rrreeeallly?", myself and the guy I was flying with completely missed his humor. And he didn't sound sarcastic, he sounded annoyed.
