+1. It definitely suggests one should trust results from stable versions of Sage, which is not the case. Especially for research, the first thing one should learn is to not trust results from any mathematical software, and always be suspicious, compute things in multiple ways, run consistency checks, use your head, etc. > But I'm sure there is still > one bug to be fixed even in a stable Sage version > > Sébastien I'm sure there are several hundred bugs in every stable version of Sage. (And the same goes for other sufficiently sophisticated math software.)
