I stand corrected, in the sense that any number can be used approximately.

When someone says, "I had twelve phone calls", they might mean more or less 
than twelve, but the meaning of the word "twelve" remains precise.

No one I've heard of before you denied that "dozen" means twelve, even when 
used approximately like any other number. So yes, "dozen" can mean 
"approximately a dozen" in the same way that any number "N" can mean 
"approximately N". Do you dispute that "12" means exactly a particular number 
even though it can be used approximately?
