The test is designed to be worthwhile in degrees only. It produces an intermediate result that stresses the precision of the calculator (cos returns a result close to 1). The test is not designed to evaluate the quality of the algorithms, it's just a convenient way to distinguish various machines and/or the built-in chips.
