    yes if the calculator incorrectly provided an answer, and i was having a casual conversation over it.

    such as with over simplified rounding and truncation errors that some calculators give.

      What is casual about the situation in the screenshots? You keep bringing that up as if it changes anything.

        by that logic, what does arguing about the semantics of a word choice where the initial idea by the post was obviously understood, else we would not be talking about it?

        seems off topic like i warned about, and a waste of time

          I explained why the word matters in my very first comment, and several since. You’re the one that started the argument on semantics, so you tell me.
