Except maybe your 2 was previously stored in the LossyNumber(TM) format which can only approximate integers, and it turned into 2.033. You add 8 to it, send it

Except maybe your 2 was previously stored in the LossyNumber(TM) format which can only approximate integers, and it turned into 2.033. You add 8 to it, send it to me in a less lossy encoding, and I see 10.033. My knowledge of LossyNumber artifacts lets me know you started with 2!
