  It is. It's just taking something obvious and recontextualizing in language that sounds like a Mysterious Conspiracy when it's really just a banal truth we all take for granted because all the other options make less sense. Like using tau over pi in geometry.

I like to think of it as TRUNC

  For positive numbers, both the FLOOR() and TRUNC() functions return the same values
