Since when you need floating point math in presentation language, when  
you're writing about floating point math?
There're plenty of topics that our encyclopedia is about, that don't  
have tools (like physics/biology simulators) inside wikitext. Damnit,  
we write about all these people and we don't even have tools that  
would evaluate their genome and provide probabilistic matching and  
evaluation of article text based on that.

This is exactly my point, you don't give a single valid reason for us  
to care, except some random "oh no, 12 numbers, oh no 14 numbers". Why  
should we care?
