Out of context, I'd certainly agree. But from the context, I assumed it was clear that the 0.6 was a Python float. I probably should have made this clearer. My statement should probably have been something like: a literal 0.6 in Python code does not have the same mathematical value as the rational (or real) number 3/5.
