Yes, completely agree about the concept. I've had success discussing floats with compute engineers by framing it like a really large fixed point number with all zeroes, except a small bit range. The location and value of the bit range are set by the exponent and mantissa, respectively. This makes precision issues and things like denormals straight forward to discuss.
