So reciprocating an inexact interval gives an exact number, and vice versa?
> If you ask for 2 + 2 at this very low precision, there is no exact representation for four, so you have to use the open interval (2, 5), for example.
So what is 2 + 2 - 2?
I feel like this guy keeps contradicting himself, e.g. switching between impractically high and low precision depending on the question.
