You can set your prefernces> units> stroke> to inches.  The thing is that Illustrator only displays down to hundredths in the stroke weight field.  So if you enter in 0.004, 0.006, 0.012 etc in the field it will round it to 0.01.  However it actually does make the line the width you specify.  I did an experiment to verify this.  So you get the proper line widths just no way of displaying the true line weight once it's set.  If all lines on a single layer are the same width perhaps this won't be a problem. 

Hope this helps, David
