And so instead of explain why and clarify any misunderstanding you chose to snarkily insult my intelligence, very mature.

    I did clarify my reasons. That you obviously didn't read.

    No you spouted some stuff about "trust me I've seen it" (almost certainly relating to using single floats) then an irrelevant tangent about how ten doesnt divde cleanly into three and how thats a problem for floats, when you have exactly the same problem with fixed point/integer division.

    Do you have an actual example of where double precission floats would cause an issue? Preferably an example that could be run to demonstrate it.
