Bluntly speaking, your happiness is your probem, and not relevant to me, 
Matz, or indeed anyone.

If you don't like the result Ruby provides, *do something constructive*. 
Bitching and yapping about minute details, the reasoning for which have 
been put before you more often than to be expected (i.e. more than 
once), will earn you increasing animosity, if not hostility.

If you don't like how Ruby does math, feel free to investigate 
alternatives to Ruby, or write a math library that does its calculations 
to the level of accuracy that makes you happy.

Nobody forces you to use Ruby (unless it is your employer, in which case 
I'd suggest investigating alternative employment, nice as Ruby is).

You could use JRuby and a Java library with "better" maths; you could 
use IronRuby and a .NET library with "better" maths.

Nobody forces you to use Ruby as *is*, either. It's open source. Change 
Ruby's behavior, if you like.
