Now that you have a good PDF function, here is the bad news.
The extra precision is basically useless.

Thanks, Albert. I realize that 12 digits of precision are overkill for any real-world application. After all, if you know that the chance of some outcome is 1 in 1E60 it hardly seems necessary to know it to 12 digits! Mainly, I just like the idea of a user function being as accurate as the built-in commands.

I have also learned a lot about efficient programming and numerical accuracy from your and Dieter's posts, and those of many others as well.
