Seriously? You blame the example? Reminds me of that old joke.

Patient: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this."
Doctor:  "Well, don't do that!"

The problem is you're looking at in only as an engineer might, dealing with 
very small deltas. But as an implementer of such a method as #close_to? or 
#approx? I would never assume there are no valid applications that are 
concerned with bulkier scales.
