Floating point non-exactness

[Gary Duzan]

   All practical applications aside, isn't it philosophically unnatural to
apply an eqivalence comparison to two floating point (presumably real)
numbers? I know there are finite representations in the machine, etc., but
what mathematics I have had would make me think twice about this anyway.
