The stud diameter above doesn't seem to match reality. That would imply
that the space between two studs is 1.75 units, which is significantly
different from the apparent measurement of 2 (recall that you can stand
a plate on edge between two studs).

If I'm not mistaken, these values give an inter-stud distance of 1.875? That's
closer to 2, and remember that a plate placed as you say is a *very* tight fit,
and if you don't place / remove it carefully, you'll actually end up marking
the plate with the sides of the studs. This would explain the small
discrepancy.
