[QUOTE="Chris Angelico, post: 5157153"] You have one chance in ten, repeatably, of losing a digit. That is, roughly 10% of your four-decimal figures will appear to be three-decimal, and 1% of them will appear to be two-decimal, and so on. Is that "a few" false negatives? It feels like a lot IMO. But then, there's no alternative - the information's already gone. ChrisA [/QUOTE]
