I view them as lossy compressors. Kind of like a JPEG for algorithms. And while our optical nerve stack tends to be pretty good at glossing over and correcting for erroneous pixels, it has been my experience that computers do not possess that kind of discernment. Thy do exactly as they're told. And a "pixel off" here and there in the execution of boolean logic can quietly not matter, or it can unravel pretty epically.
