Or maybe exactly accurate, if the density of water doesn't actually
change within that specific half degree temperature range when water
is at maximum density.

See:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_(properties)>
Quote:
The density of water is dependent on its temperature, but the relation
is not linear and is not even monotonic (see right-hand table). When
cooled from room temperature liquid water becomes increasingly denser,
just like other substances. But at approximately 4 °C, water reaches
its maximum density. As it is cooled further under ambient conditions,
it expands to become less dense.

(Isn't Google marvelous?).
