It's fine, so long as it's only being called once or twice at the end of the 
calculation (it's even helpful to have the last operation be an nth root call, 
since that's a contracting operation that tends to reduce relative error). It's 
calling it on every single item in the input list and *then* multiplying that 
would be bad.
