Hi Noah, I think the part you're missing is that JavaScript does not
actually have integers. All numbers are internally represented
using double-precision floating point. So in fact a number that
looks like an integer can be corrupted. Easiest way to see this, as
Roger pointed out, is to try to enter something like
9223372036854775807
as the value for a field in Futon. You can't do it, Futon will
corrupt it and give you back
9223372036854776000
Isn't it just the case that there is a ceiling for representable
integers, then?
