This is actually pretty relevant because TI has been goofing up the cube root function in its calculators for decades.

How is that telemetry relevant? The bug needs to be fixed no matter how many people use it.

TI will tell you, “It’s a feature.” Play around with the cube root of negative real fractions ( with even and odd denominators) and integers (starting with -1) and see what you find.
