Yeah, that's fair. Personally, I like to think of them as a log compressed way of expressing fractional values, like how one would record in log with a camera to capture rich dark scenes while maintaining highlight detail. I think the bigger problem with floats is that the types and operations around them are pretty loose and permissive, although maybe I just don't appreciate how well the usual compromises work. Was pretty cool to dig into arbitrary precision math libraries a while back though, found some fun stuff in there. Also found out that my Android phone's Calculator app is not calculating in base 10, unlike Windows' Calculator...
