Nonsense.
Why don't you have a look in the RM, especially 3.5.7. There you can
find the following definitions:
{Float} In an implementation that supports floating point types with 6
or more digits of precision, the
requested decimal precision for Float shall be at least 6.
{Long_Float} If Long_Float is predefined for an implementation, then
its requested decimal precision
shall be at least 11.
You can define your own float types with the precision you need.
