in thread Reasons for Using Perl 6

As you can see, I still get a Rat.
Now try looping eleven times. It becomes a Num.
All these amounts would have matched properly if the calculations had been done with Perl 6 Rat type.
Maybe, maybe not. Did you try implementing it in Perl6 to see if it worked?

You're saying that Rationals are more accurate, and at the same time "that really doesn't matter, nobody cares." You have a level of cognitive dissonance going on that I just can't seem to break through.

    Haha, I missed the fact that you knew 11 times would be a Num. Wow, don't you realize that your post refutes itself? Alright, peace out.
      I am not desperately trying to prove something, right or wrong, I am just trying honestly report my findings. I am genuinely sure you can understand this mindset.
        You are desperately trying to convince yourself that Perl6's behavior is "good", even though the evidence you have found yourself screams out that it is deeply flawed. Step back and look at what you are saying.
