So 13,008 or 96 feet is fake.
You are wrong. Mode S/ADS-B SELECTED ALTITUDE parameter is stored and transmitted in a 12-bit register with 16 ft resolution.

When FCU is set to 100 ft (minimum setting on A320 FCU), SELECTED ALTITUDE parameter would be stored/transmitted as 96 ft (rounded to 16ft resolution).
