don't care much.
The problem with tolerances is:
1. since a ball is defined by 2 numbers, it will always be awkward to use
tolerances since you cannot easily give different tolerances for the
center and radius.
2. it makes reviewing harder, since a reviewer must check whether all the
given tolerances make sense
3. `arb` is supposed to be system-independent, so we actually want to know
if even the last digit of some result is wrong.
