In a previous reply I showed that the answer of 400 something was correct in the sense the it only went from 1 to 1e300. The assumption was (I think) that going to 1e300 was sufficient to get a good answer. And the answer that was given was correct for the range from 1 to 1e300. But the integral converges so slowly that over 500 remained between 1e300 and _ .
People too quickly assume that the answers from a computer must be correct.
