Okay, I'll bite: Python programmer doesn't know how IEEE rounding (IOW, every programming language of which I'm aware) works, announces ignorance to the world. And this is on HN why...? I ask that sincerely, not the usual snarky "passive-aggressively stating that I don't think this should be on HN" way. What object lesson did I miss?

The way the title was phrased made it seem like there was a weird bug that only affected the number 14. Extremely bad title.
Good an explanation as any, and kind of how I initially read it. Thanks.
