It probably notices that 1/3 is the reciprocal of an integer, and applies
an exact method. (expt 27 2/3) returns 8.999999999999998.

Let's face it: software is crap. Feature-laden and bloated, written under
tremendous time-pressure, often by incapable coders, using dangerous
languages and inadequate tools, trying to connect to heaps of broken or
obsolete protocols, implemented equally insufficiently, running on
unpredictable hardware -- we are all more than used to brokenness.
