A good viewpoint, though in the examples I'd suggest 10e, not 1e (as one to any power is still one).

Kalid, this post had a profound impact on me personally. It made me realize that the need for highest precision was killing me most of the time. It used to confuse me in everything I deal with. Thank you. This was a life-changing experience.

Kalid,
I have become a devotee of your work. You are one the the great 'splainers! And you are fun to read--I rarely have a smile and good laugh (quietly, as I'm at the library) when I'm studying math/calculus--in fact, often, I'm rather full of anxiety! But I enjoy reading your work. And you are thorough, even prolific, so there's more to look forward too!

You are performing a great service: explaining difficult, complex ideas in humanly consumable form. Thank you! Thank you!
