It's OK to compare floating-points for equality:

felix (grayscale) 🐺@lisyarus I learned "use epsilon" before IEEE-754 existed, when you didn't necessarily know how your floats behaved at boundary conditions. and I never really thought about it much after floats became universally standardized.
this feels like a case of a best-practice principle losing its context and getting misapplied in a changed environment
