Ugh, you're preaching to the choir. I wasn't trying to make a point about the equality operator, I was trying to make a point about x and y being completely different. I must be really bad at communicating with people.

That's the thing: x and y are not "completely different"; they are within the tolerance one would use to compare them correctly.

So umm, more than a "difference in the realm of 6-8 significant digits"?
