Directly, not.
Indirectly, it might be, depending on how input geometries are created
(eg. via WKB I/O).
In such case, one may consider precision model does affect the predicates.

For the record, intersection calculation in GEOS does use precision model,
perhaps other places too.


Please, consider my comments above as complementary documentation,
and w/o any purpose of argument.
