When you do a long, complex calculation that you expect is going to be completely wrong and it turns out to be correct to three decimal places. Hmm.

@lauren Oh, I *never* trust that. ;)

There are two flavors of programming anxiety: when all your unit tests break, and when *none* of them break. The latter is often an even stronger indicator that something just went wrong.

@mtomczak Yeah. This one is bugging me. No pun intended. But if there's an error it should be pretty gaping. I can't find a way these calculations would have come within 0.003 of ideal through any mistake possible in these sequences, with anything other than silly small probability. Still ...

@mtomczak I'm going to scan in the sheet of paper with these inputs and calcs. I don't want to lose them.
