Seems like there was a movie awhile back with a title something like " went up a hill and came down a mountain". It was about getting a hill reclassified as a mountain. Could this be the same hill/mountain?

No. Not right. If you're measuring a property line, or to cut a board, you measure the nearest fractional foot, but a mountain? You round to the nearest foot and that's its height. Where do you pick the "bottom" of the mountain? Could you move over a foot and get to a point an inch lower? Do you take multiple measurements?
Reclassifying a "mountain" over an inch measurement is absolutely ridiculous.
