imagining this dweeb at a recital by famous virtuoso treble Aksel Rykkvin before his voice broke being like "so what lots of sopranos can sing higher!!!!!!"
Another thought on this matter: this is why I am incredibly suspect of any space claiming to be a "safe space" or "wholesome" because that usually boils down to "we can't tolerate being uncomfortable and anything unusual makes us uncomfortable". this dweeb was so committed to inclusivity they found the fact that i have genuinely statistically abnormal physiology unbearable. It's not the first time. It won't be the last
@peterrowlett Suppose the largest representable number below 1 is 1 - ε. Then the Taylor expansion of √(1 - ε) is 1 - ε/2 - ε²/8 + …, which is closer to 1 - ε than it is to 1. So it's correctly rounding the correct result.
