The biggest misunderstanding I see in these types of discussions is that there is a lossless conversion between binary floating point representation and decimal representation.

Very few values have exact decimal and binary floating point representations.

Note: I think you meant to say "lossy" instead of "lossless"

Nope. I was asserting that confusion comes from people believing that a "lossless" conversion exists. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Ok, that makes sense.
