How does the DM42 accuracy compare to other calculators ?

Since asin(x) on all those numbers would produce the correct result of 3.14159265359.

I do not agree.
We cannot know where the input came from and have to take it one step at a time.
SIN(3.14159265359) = SIN(PI-x) = SIN(x) ~= x for small x, and that is the only correct result, x = -2.06761537357e-13, incidentally correct to 12 digits, a feat as yet unmatched in TI calculators (correct me if I'm wrong)
It is not because ASIN(x) produces 3.14159265359 for a myriad numbers that they would all be the correct result for SIN(3.14159265359)?
Would you like your 12-digit calculator to return 1e-250 for SQRT(0)?
