Watching Star Trek, and a minor guest is being racist to Data, saying saying someone really should double check his math, and I'm forced to acknowledge how reasonable it will be to doubt any numerical info that ever comes out of a computer

The last time I watched this episode, it was preposterous to doubt Data on this point

@jenniferplusplus numbers coming out of computers were always to be scrutinized with caution, due to the rounding problem, inherent to them :S
