Well, I think
      0.9999 * 0.9998 * ... * 0.9981
looks simpler than
      9999! / (9980! * 10E76).

The second expression is of course equivalent to the first.  It's less
ambiguous (doesn't require the reader to fill in the `...').  It's
just that, when *I* see the second one, it doesn't immediately tell me
what to do.

No big deal...
