In Response To: DQ: Consider the bar point? *** Rollout *** (Timothy Chow)

That's how people tend to think of those numbers, but that's not what they are, strictly speaking.

You're throwing the baby out with the bath water. An electronic calculator that uses floating point arithmetic often gives wrong answers too (strictly speaking) but that doesn't mean its answers aren't useful.
