AUGirl, I would argue that the point isn’t “moot” at all. Maybe at your school it’s a 2.7 for a B- and a 3.3 for a B+, but I think most high schools don’t factor in pluses and minuses for unweighted GPA. From what I’ve heard, most colleges will recompute GPA to their own system by looking at your transcript (or just factor in your class rank-- which is more accurate). To them, an A of any kind is a 4.0, a B is a 3.0, etc. So while you are right that colleges look at your transcript to determine GPA, how you extrapolated the process is quite contrary to how they actually do it.
