Who cares about the exact amount?

We couldn't technically make it stop exactly at $150.00, but only at $167.89 or whatever, so we are letting it run to $15k.

For catastrophic cases it doesn't matter. If it saves a person from an unexpected $15k bill then it works. Even for many businesses it would be ok to drop everything - I know some which can withstand being offline for a day, but not a $250k bill.
