What's so important about using box-sizing here?

I get that Guil want's the container to stay at 70% of the screen width or max-width 1000px. But is it realistic to be this precise for the size here even though they both look the same despite the small pixel difference?

Hey Kirt Perez with web development precision is definitely important in order to create the best and most consistent layouts that work across different screen sizes. Check out this article for more on box-sizing https://blog.teamtreehouse.com/take-control-of-the-box-model-with-box-sizing
