Astra,

Language is used differently in different contexts. If one is writing a scientific paper, words take on different meanings to those they have in an everyday social context such as this. Believe me, if an English speaker says to you "I'll phone you back in a minute", they will not mean "precisely 60 seconds"; they could mean 5 or 10 minutes.
