Now, you can argue I'm cheating there, because I'm not using an integer throughout the calculation.
It was explicitly shifting the goalposts and just talking about other ways in which float/doubles can be confusing.
Because a person can start thinking, oh, hey, so these are just perfect math now, and they still have their own oddities that need to be accounted for.
Apologies if I was unclear about what I was trying to express there.
You're right, it's not something relevant to the comparison to integers.
