I am not sure but it is definitely worth a try, you know: just to verify/ check things.

Scotch that idea - it's just another silly rum-or. You know, to tequila funny-bone.

Quite possibly, but we need more proof.

The quotation mentions rebuilding an Excel sheet to some web application.
"This process must be as simple and correct as possible."
Not "as correct as possible", just correct.
If it's any less correct than "correct" it's not correct
I wonder, if they mention correctness explicitly at this point, does that mean all other points are assumed to be incorrect by default?
|
|
|
|
|
You may be correct there.

"This process must be as simple [PAUSE] and correct as possible."
With the verb form of "correct" rather than the adjective form.
|
|
|
|
|
What about "and correct if possible"?
Or "and correct if you pay extra for our special 'correctness module'"
|
|
|
|

Exactly. "Fix any detected deficiencies when fiscally sound."

Correctness is a feature, after all

Correctness costs money and hinders performance.

Someone did not like the other thread and so it is locked now. I didn't take any offence to what you said and I hope you weren't offended by what I said but someone didn't like it.
Anyway, I have no idea how to make it any more clear to you and no, I do not troll. So, we'll have to agree to disagree I suppose.

So let's say we give it the benefit of the doubt and agree to agree on whatever it is we agreed on

Correct to how many decimal places?
|
|

I've actually had a customer who wanted VAT on invoices calculated per product, which was completely irrelevant, instead of over the complete invoice.
The problem is, you're going to round VAT to two decimals, because no one ever pays €0.001.
So by adding up all the VATs for each product we got rounding errors (and those rounding errors added up!).
If you calculated the VAT over the entire invoice (like EVERYBODY in that business does) it wouldn't add up.
But for some reason they really wanted to have the VAT per product.
We went as far as to round to 16 decimal places, but we still ended up with rounding errors
Ultimately, we actually went for "as correct as possible with x decimal places."
In this case "correct" was of course VAT over the entire invoice because that was the only legal kind of VAT
