> but other changes don't break it. Why should that be a requirement? Obviously the driver can make other changes that can break any code.

  > Why should that be a requirement? Originally I said "the premise is that any difference breaks the code". You replied with "Not any." That is where the requirement comes from, your own words. This is your scenario, and you said not all differences would break the hypothetical code. This is your choice. Are we talking about code where any change breaks it (like a seeded/reproducible RNG), or are we talking about code where there are minor changes that don't break it but using extra precision breaks it? (I expect this category to be super duper rare)

I was disputing your report of the premise. > or are we talking about code where there are minor changes that don't break it but using extra precision breaks it? Yup.
