In a way yes, because it makes them a more accurate representation. Rep numbers work just like the Richter scale used to measure earthquakes. A rep of 6 has 10 times the voting magnitude that a rep score of 5 does. Adding the extra digit seems to have been pushed as a method of clarification, but the scoring methods remained the same.

Kind of like saying an earthquake was a 4.5, now your rep says it's a 45 so you know exactly where it more accurately falls between the 2 tiers. Instead of a simple 4 or 5 with the single digit system you now know how far from the next tier of magnitude you actually are. The voting system always took this into account on the backend but the numbers of the single digit system failed to present that level of information to users on the fly without having to dig for it elsewhere.
