Yeah you are just criticizing this without even looking at it. Shame.

On the contrary, I did exactly that. It proactively intervenes where mathematical knowledge would be a better remedy overall. It shields programmers from their ignorance.

If floating-point code is correctly written, it can't possibly serve a useful purpose.

See above -- don't jump to conclusions.
