hm. In my mathematics lessons I was always taught to identify a recurring chain of numbers and round as soon as the numbers began to repeat themselves. If, for example, a drop rate was 1/7, or 0.142857142857 et cetera, I'd chop it down to 0.142857. That's the only time I'd deliberately avoid chains of forty-digit exponential decimals...
