Hi Neil,

Julie does math the same way that all computers do math. You're probably coming 
from another language where a lot of effort is invested into pretending that 
computers offer a closer approximation to abstract mathematics than they 
actually do. Those systems have been lying to you.

Put another way: you just took the red pill by using Julia.
