    I’m not sure what sort of point you think you’re making but 0.0100110011 in binary is only 0.065% off from 0.3, but how often would you organically encounter 0.3?

    Many fractions in decimal are also repeating numbers or very long trailing numbers, I especially encounter a lot when working with time which is base 60.
