Workaround
IEEE 754 describes how doubles are modeled with computers, often seemingly simple doubles cannot be exactly represented, and the next closest representation is used. Search 'directly compare two doubles' to understand why a tolerance based approach must be used. e.g., 10.71 != 10.71 (if its from a database)
