At least you are consistent.

I am most certainly consistent... and your argument is a non sequitur. As an interest in high speed number crunching (a personal excursion into number theory, prime research, and encryption) I run my -- PC -- late at night while I'm asleep crunching out transcendentals to many hundreds of thousands of digits.

I set my calculator (HP35s) to FIX 4, or ENG 4.

PS SIN has the same problem on the ZERO end, that COSINE has at pi/2. Set your HP35s to FIX 4 and run SIN(.0001) ; similar to COS(89.9999)
Oh look, its the same value either way-> 1.7453E-6 (very reasonable answer)

PSS its also the same internal value either way... 174532925000
