Hi Joshua,
Because there are no values in column ddd less than 1.
itemInfo[3,"ddd"]<-0.3645372
itemInfo
aaa bbb ccc ddd eee
skill 1.396 6.225 0.517 5.775 2.497

digits specifies the number of significant digits ("It is a suggestion
only"), so when at least one number is padded with a leading zero it
affects the formatting of the other numbers in that column. I suspect
that this is an esthetic consideration to line up the decimal points.
