The idea behind the ranges of handlebar widths is that many of us cut ours so they are rarely exact. Also, it's sort of like how there's a wide range of trail bikes -- some are more toward the XC end of the spectrum, others closer to all mountain. I guess there's a trail bike that sits right in the middle (or handlebar that's exactly 760mm), but most of us tend to say even the ones in the middle lean slightly one way or another.
The 20mm or less stem choice is a honey pot for the griefers, ha!
