You stand by your statement?.... ooooh.
All I can say is incident angle is a killer when rounding. Deposition and beam strike will always make you wonder how these cpu devices can even work.
Despite what you think you know. The Manufacturing of cpu's still has a little bit of luck involved. This is the difference, it's not all science as you would think. There is still some finessing involved. In the industry it is known as 'tuning'. Same with software there is always some tweaking involved. A compromise if you will.
A comprimise that can leave you with errors and flaws.
When you write code you assume in good faith that the linker and source to source translator have no bugs and are 100% error free. When you buy an operating system you expect the same level of consistency. We know this isn't the case. MS and Apple put out 'hot' fixes and sp's EVERYDAY. The Intel compiler I use
everday was written in 2006. But yet I'm developing source for Vista and XP both came out after 06
Tell me there can't be errors?
Open your eyes man take a computer class or something. From a guy that compares the required floating point presicion of the banking industry to IEEE floating point precision required by a DAW, is suspect.
