[R] different results form summarization by loop and sum or rowMeans function

Hi, I found different results calculating the rowMeans by the function rowMeans() and a simple for-loop. The differences are very low. But after this calculation I will start some optimization algorithms (BFGS or CG) and there I get huge differences (from the small changes in the beginning
