Yes, it does in the case the OP provided.

But it's important to keep in mind that accumulated rounding errors for longer calculations won't be magically compensated.

    LanX and haukex have the "right" answer here. Sure, various things can be done to coax "the right answer" out of "this example," but the underlying mathematical issues are still there and can't be evaded.
