I know I'm a bit late with this objection, but I find it pretty strange
to limit the computation accuracy to the window size. Can't we just
make sure that the interesting part of the result is alway shown (and
you'd have to scroll to get more accuracy)?
Or does it internally still use the more accurate number for further
computations?
