I've always taken it to mean you're getting away from a 'range' of tolerances and trying to build to as close to the 'ideal' specification as possible. For example, a cylinder bore might be 4.000" +/- .002" - you may want to get all of your bores as close to 4.002 as possible if you want a little less pressure on the rings / some infinitely small additional displacement, rather than having one cylinder at 4.001 and another at 3.998.
