That's quite a run from the simple point that rounding is an arithmetic operation which does not involve infinitudes.

A point on which there appears to be at least near-universal agreement.
Guess I did indeed miss yer point then.

I still submit that the original example was garbage thus GIGO.

You deal with it as you see fit...

If by "the original example," you are referring to what I quoted in the opening posting of this thread, then I guess that thestoat will have to deal with it as he sees fit: I quoted him.
