> What's the acceptable level of error in approximations?

I'm fairly sure the lifes of those affected negatively by the error are outside the "acceptable level". We're talking about humans here, not mathematical rounding errors.

It seems your objection is not to approximations or the error inherent in them, but to what happens when people forget approximations are not reality. Is that correct?
