I suppose that if the chip has an instruction that would allow it to store the
correct value without losing any precision, and the compiler instead chooses to
generate an instruction that causes the computation to lose precision, that
could be considered "different than what I am expecting", yes.
Actually, I like that response. I might try to use it myself next time one of
our customers reports a problem.
