From an engineering standpoint, I don't agree with him. We make errors all the time, it's basically how we learn how to do things the right way (try, fail, repeat). Not to mention rounding errors, we also make GIGANTIC ones (not all the time, but still).

But, he's a mathematician, not an engineer. So, as I said, from a purely mathematical standpoint, yes, he is correct.

well, yeah... xD as i said, i understand that pov. if that printout WAS the process, then yes.

and for an alien that only receives that printout milled into a goldbar attached to a satellite: that would be a bummer ;3
